One from Anderson Co (Oak Ridge) in May, 2011.

I mistaken it for a rare 8461 Hope Hypena (Hypena humulis), until James Adams set me straight to be 5625 Omphalocera cariosa related to the commoner 5627 Omphalocera munroei. Are there any records for Tenn?

I looked through the Pyralids and somehow missed this one. Thanks, Larry! This is a new one for me.

I'm not finding it anywhere so with a moth this distinctive, I must be missing something obvious. Any suggestions?
