A slight clarification.
Hundreds of Tennessee moth sightings have been submitted to BAMONA over the
past
few weeks.

As we all know, moths don't get the respect they deserve so getting accurate
info on them can be difficult. Bugguide has a much larger range for Lithophane
petulca.
"coast to coast in southern Canada and all of US except the southeast (Florida
and adjacent states)"
I just posted the pic to TN-Moths and also submitted it to BAMONA. Hundreds of
moth sightings have been submitted to BAMONA over the past few weeks so it may
be awhile before this one is looked at.
Lois recently had this species verified by BAMONA for Aiken County. I'm curious
what others think about that ID.

The attached two photos are Lithophanes identified from specimens. The one on
the rope is L. patefacta and the other is L. innominata. I've collected
several
of both species this winter and they are currently being Bar-coded. I think we
might be a little hasty on the ID of Ken's moth , especially if it's out of
BAMONA's range for L. peticula. I have not photographed or collected L.
peticula in the Piedmont. Paul
