I've never seen a Little Glassywing without the obvious white area at the base 
of the clubs but those squarish spots fit the species perfectly so I don't know 
what else it could be.

 While working at Carroll Cabin Barrens State Natural Area today (May 21, 2010) 
I saw the following butterflies:
 
1. Silver-spotted skipper
2. Hoary edge
3. Northern cloudywing
4. Little glassywing- please see the attached photo; this is my best guess; the 
skipper is not showing white before the antenae club like a glassywing would; 
Please let me know your thoughts and respond to TN-butterflies
5. Zabulon skipper
6. Dun skipper
7. Pepper-and-salt skipper- photo
8. Swallowtaill species
9. Banded hairstreak- about 5; photo attached; Decatur County BAMONA record; 
identified to banded by: postmedian band usually edged with white on outer 
edge, but rarely on inner edge (the photo shows this), blue spot even with red 
spot on banded- hickory would be farther in; postmedian band usually widens on 
hickory and not on banded- the band does appear to widen which would suggest 
hickory hairstreak but since the other characters match banded and since the 
character of widening band is usually true for hickory, I am calling this is a 
Banded Haristreak.  Again any responses should be to TN-butterflies.
10. Azure species
11. Great spangled fritillary
12. Hackberry emperor
13. Northern pearly-eye- photo
14. Carolina satyr
15. Little wood satyr
 
The last photo is of a green treefrog- I didn't expect this frog to be in a dry 
barren.
