Date: 09/07/2010
Number of Species: 30
Number of Individuals: 622
Location: Tims Ford State Rustic Park, Franklin County TN
Observers: Richard Connors with John Froeschauer
Notes: plants in bloom most used by butterflies: Lespedeza, thoroughwort
and other Eupatoriums, field thistle, daisy fleabane etc. My opinion of
Lespedeza has been raised a notch seeing all the buckeyes and skippers and
hairstreaks using it. This is the first time I've seen Fiery almost outnumber
Sachems. Field thistle was even more popular but there was just less of it.
I believe the Gray Hairstreak was the only BAMONA record I got photos of.
Most numbers are approximate.
