[TN-Butterflies] Re: Reporting moths

Hi Jean, 

I'm not sure if you are the person I should send this to, but I found a 
Grapevine Epimenis moth at the Haw Ridge Greenway in Oak Ridge (Anderson Co.) 
on April 4. Photo attached. I checked the BAMONA state list and didn't see it 
on there. What a beautiful moth! I had to laugh at myself the other day while I 
was chasing a Falcate Orangetip butterfly that day trying to get a photo (no 
luck). Thanks to you folks at BAMONA, I now have something NEW to obsess about 
when I go hiking! ;) As if wildflowers, birds, lichens, reptiles, mushrooms, 
etc., weren't enough! Ha! Thanks for all your hard work!

If you have FOY moth sightings, the tn-moth list welcomes your reports. There 
are now over 100 FOY moth reports (60 different species) from 13 TN counties. 
We need representation from many more counties to round out the TN moth 
picture. 
For newbies to the moth world, there are experts very willing to help with ID. 

For those interested, here is a recap: 
Total reported: 103 

Anderson: 7
