Hey Kristy,
I do think you have a Bell's RSS. Your second photo, even though blurry, does
show all the key markings for a Bell's. Congrats!

Subject: [TN-Butterflies] Edgar Evins State Park Butterflies (and Moths!)
Hello,
On Sunday, August 3rd, my family and I went hiking at Edgar Evins State Park
(DeKalb County). We had never been there and enjoyed our hike very much!
Swallowtails were everywhere throughout the hike, but I wasn't close enough to
ID them. Species I could identify include the following:
Great Spangled Fritillary - 3
Silvery Checkspot - 1
Silver-spotted Skipper - 9
Spicebush Swallowtail - 4
Hackberry Emperor - 2
Eastern-tailed Blue - 2 (There were lots of little butterflies - I didn't wade
through the weeds to identify them. I assumed that many of them were ETBs.)
American Snout - LOTS
Viceroy - 1
Carolina Satyr - 3 (There were over a dozen or more that I assumed were
Carolina Satyr's but they didn't land where I could ID them.)
Zabulon Skipper - 2
Red-banded Hairstreak - 1
Possible Bell's Roadside Skipper? Two different individuals - Any thoughts?
The pictures are of poor quality #1

We also got to see an Imperial Moth and a Sphinx moth species.
