Underwing? (NOPE) Saw this moth in open Longleaf Pine woodland. I could never get a look at the hindwing. Looks like Erebidae, maybe an underwing. Also uploaded at: <a href="https://bugguide.net/node/view/2341810" rel="noreferrer nofollow">bugguide.net/node/view/2341810</a> Update. Nope. A Zale, see comments here and on BugGuide. Compare as per suggestions below: Pine Barrens Zale - Zale lunifera (Hodges number 8713) References - BugGuide <a href="https://bugguide.net/node/view/3123" rel="noreferrer nofollow">bugguide.net/node/view/3123</a> Compare the similar Bold-Based Zale - Zale intenta (Hodges number 8713.1) <a href="https://bugguide.net/node/view/576968" rel="noreferrer nofollow">bugguide.net/node/view/576968</a> Comments there: "Zale lunifera was split into two species in 2010. The name "lunifera" applies to a species restricted to scrub oak barrens east and south of the Appalachians, while the common widespread species is now called Zale intenta." This was certainly the right habitat for Z. lunifera--very much a pine barrens with various dry soil oaks.
Clump-o-stems Southern Dwarf Blueberry, Small Cluster Blueberry - Vaccinium tenellum Aiton (syn. Cyanococcus tenellus) Wider view of this plant, showing the habitus of short stems coming up from rhizomes.
Pollen-covered plant Sandhills Heartleaf - Asarum (Hexastylis) sorriei) Hard to see the pattern on the leaf for all the pine pollen! For references, see observation of this same species, I think, at the same site. <a href="https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/111488120" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.inaturalist.org/observations/111488120</a>

Just starting Bird's Foot Violet - Viola pedata Abundant at Weymouth Woods, but more so in April.
Likes dry soil Dwarf Iris (Dwarf Violet Iris, Vernal Iris) - Iris verna This would be Coastal Plain Dwarf Iris, Sandhill Iris - Iris verna var. verna.
Odd blueberry Southern Dwarf Blueberry, Small Cluster Blueberry - Vaccinium tenellum Aiton (syn. Cyanococcus tenellus) A rather obscure blueberry, grows in rhizomatous clumps and is only 10-40 cm tall. Mostly restricted to xeric woodlands of the Coastal Plain of the Carolinas. Just a few were blooming on 21 March 2024. I had seen them in full bloom 6 April 2023: <a href="https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/154083884" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.inaturalist.org/observations/154083884</a> References - Carolina Nature (Will Cook): <a href="https://www.carolinanature.com/trees/vate.html" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.carolinanature.com/trees/vate.html</a> - Porcher and Rayner (Univ. of South Carolina Press, 2001), A Guide to the Wildflowers of South Carolina, p. 245 (photo) - Radford et al., Vascular Flora of the Carolinas (UNC Press, 1968), pp. 814 (key), 815 (description) - Weakley, Flora of the Southeastern United States (UNC Herbarium, 2020), pp. 1183, 1187
