While walking the Horse Pasture monitoring route in Cades Cove, Great Smoky
Mountains NP yesterday I observed 18 species including my first ever Ocola
skipper (attached) that was confirmed by BAMONA and 75 Common buckeyes.
Today I had a very worn female Diana fritillary on some thistles with a
Pipevine swallowtail, very worn Great-spangled fritillary, a fresh Gulf
fritillary and a beautiful Clouded skipper - attached.
