Audrey and Mike, please put "FOY" in the subject line, so I won't miss any
entries. Thanks. We should have lots of flying friends soon; if we have a
standard format for FOY, it will help me immensely. Subject line should
include "FOY" and moth. Date and county need to be prominent in the body of
the email, preferably the first item.
Here is an example:
Pyrrharctia isabella Isabella Tiger Moth
23 Jan
Cocke Co, TN
(Including Hodges number and/or family is helpful, but not necessary)
We're aiming for 1.000 different moths this year, in many different
counties........ This is going to be exciting! We even need records of your
Cutworms and Corn Borers, before you squash them. Let's put Tennessee on the
moth map.
Other info and personal observations are welcome on this list. It is
especially helpful to us new moth-ers to learn how to attract moths, where the
day-flyers can be found, ID characteristics, etc.
Audrey, what is your county? Knox?

Hi Mike, and other Moth-ers,
I also have had a Green Cloverworm this year, and also on 2-21-10. Since the
day was warm, I put up a UV light, and attracted this moth, plus one other,
which I have tentatively ID'd as a Spring Cankerworm Moth (Paleacrita vernata),
after looking at BugGuide and Moth Photographer Group images. The Spring
Cankerworm was collected and chilled for other photos. The UV light-attracted
image is much grayer than the image taken later.

Four Green Cloverworm Moths, Hypena scabra,
http://mlbierly.smugmug.com/Moths/Green-Cloverworm-Moth/11354062_DoUUm#797479583_B6m4p,
were at Kentucky Manor, Nashville, Davidson County, TN, 36.15944 and
-86.85055, on February 21, 2010. They came around the kitchen windows,
apparently attracted to the lights within. A moth looking like this was seen
flying around earlier in the day but was too high to identify. This was the
first moth sighting for the season at the Manor. High was 67 F. There was also
a Brown Lacewing. Information on this moth is noted at,
http://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.edu/species.php?hodges=8465,
http://bugguide.net/node/view/9540 , and
http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/species?l=5793. The moth identification was
verified by Jason Roberts.
