Chalcoela pegasalis
1 cm long moth
Semi rural
Thanks to you both! This seems to be a rare little moth - only 6 on the bamona database & none from Tennessee!
Definitely Chalcoela pegasalis! If you look at the other one, the gray part is just gray, no markings or pattern. I am happy that my first second was not completely out of the row...
Correct, bayucca. Chalcoela sp., Chalcoela pegasalis:

Please confirm, as the Sooty-winged Chalcoela is very similar.
