Doug, I wonder if people on W Outer (Oak Ridge) have Sweetbay as an ornamental. 
 The moth was found very close to W Outer on Morningside.  (This area is known 
for spectacular flowering shrubs in people's yards.)  If its host plant were in 
proximity, the possibility of it being securifera would be more logical.  your 
mission is to check for Sweetbay, so you can have a new Anderson Co (and TN) 
record.
