Lots of Grapevine Epimenis moths were flying this weekend in Knox and Blount
Counties.
I photographed this one at Forks of the River WMA on Saturday, March 19:

I had never really looked at the wing pattern before - except to note the
orange
and white patches. I really like the rest of this guy now!
On Sunday, I saw a few of them as well at Kyker Bottoms WMA in Blount County. I
was unable to get any photographs since I was busy leading a bird walk - and
many birders don't like for their trip leader to stop to photograph a 'bug'! :-)
