Ken, the species host is dogwood, but my reference only reports it south into Kentucky and west into Texas; I don't know if there is a lep list for Tennessee, so it could be a new state record if my ID is correct. Congratulations .

There is some serious wear on my moth but O. exaeresima does look like a strong possibility.
