A follow up to this trip. These were seen at a friends place in western Chester county. Their property borders Hardeman county and has a good amount of forest that regularly gets flooded. This area was under a lot of water when we had the floods at the beginning of May. Last year at this time I saw a few Browns, good numbers of Pearly-eyes and big numbers of Satyrs. This year in the same area and during the same time of day the numbers were way down. Pearly-eye species 1 Northern Pearly-eye 5 Southern Pearly-eye 1 App Brown 4 Carolina Satyr 5 (last year 40) Little Wood Satyr 0 (last year 50) The drop in the number of Satyrs may be partially due to the flooding but I'm not seeing as many of either species at my place as I did last year so 2009 may just have been a good year for Satyrs. The Confused Cloudywing, Lace-winged Roadside-Skipper and the Southern Broken-dash were seen at their house which is surrounded by the forest. All were feeding on Zinnias. I saw the Confused when I first got there at 11:00 and it was still hanging around when I left after 4:00. ________________________________ From: kjchilds <kjchilds@xxxxxxxxx> To: TN Butterflies <TN-Butterflies@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sun, July 18, 2010 8:55:06 PM Subject: [TN-Butterflies] FOY for Chester County 7/18/10 Lace-winged Roadside-Skipper (photo) Southern Broken-dash (photo) Northern Pearly-eye (photo) Southern Pearly-eye (photo) Ken Childs Henderson, TN Chester County http://www.finishflagfarms.com
