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.

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.
