9583_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,
