Oh my....I wonder how many people driving around east Tennessee have seen
strange people on their porches or in their yards taking photos at night......
I'm on my front porch doing that most nights now...I know Audrey is....guess
you are too? *L*
The moth is on a window screen. Of course, I have no idea what the distance
between squares is. I do hope to go back there next winter, so I could measure
it then!! I may have an id on it soon...I contacted someone who did work on
moths in Belize about 5-8 years ago. He put it in the family Castniidae and
gave me a person to contact who might bring it to species. I'll let you know
what I find out.
Love the mantidfly pic!!!

David,
Thanks for sharing the photo, what a beauty! What is the background the moth is
sitting on? That looks like a great way to tell how big it is! Even better than
Larry's sheet! :)
I had an interesting visitor to the porch lights last night. It was a
Mantidfly! I had never seen a live one before, only images in my books. I have
the photo posted on my blog: http://blog.easttennesseewildflowers.com/ The
Patent Leather beetle with the hitchhiking mites was interesting too. Isn't
nature incredible?! :)

No, I don't expect anyone to be able to identify it, but I want to share this
creature with the TN-Moth group!
