Barry Hart and I were exploring Walker Branch State Natural Area in Hardin 
County, TN on September 2, 2009. The following butterflies are new records for 
the county:

 

1. Sachem

2. Tawny emperor

 

We watched what we identified as a Dun Skipper excreting droplets of clear 
liquid onto Barry's hat. The skippers probiscus was fully extended and appeared 
to be lapping up the clear liquid that it was excreting. We didn't time this 
but it lasted for over 1-minute. I took a video of it if anyone is interested.
