Many thanks to Ken Childs for recent directing our attention to the excellent 
USDA publication entitled Rare, Declining, and Poorly Known Butterflies and 
Moths of Forests and Wetlands in the Eastern United States.  This massive and 
finely produced volume contains a wealth of information on many lesser-known 
moths and butterflies, many of which can be found in Tennessee and surrounding 
states.  There is a two- to four-page entry for each species considered, 
including life history, habitats, food sources, photos, and much, much more.  
The volume exceeds 500 pages and is hard-bound.  An incredible resource for 
nothing more than an e-mail request.  

Thanks again, Ken.
