Hi Jean,

I've been busy this past week at science camp at Freels Bend in Oak Ridge. We 
set up a black light and sheet overnight to attract moths and other insects. I 
also took photos each night at home (cutting down on my needed sleep!). 
Here are the photos and the name list is attached, starting with the 
Virginia(n) tiger moth.

I got several more that I'm working on, it just takes a long time to compare 
photos with those on other sites. It is so rewarding to finally make a match 
though! :) 

I hope these will help get Anderson Co.'s numbers up! :)  I also saw a Painted 
Lichen moth in the Smokies (Cades Cove, Blount Co.) and an Elm Sphinx (Sevier 
Co.) on 6-12-10 if that is any help. Thanks! 

Kris Light
