A Southern Pearly-eye,

-Pearly-eye-Enoida/13743905_Kr75n#1005156216_jJuro, was observed at Warner
Park Nature Center, Nashville, Davidson County, on September 12, 2010.
Julius Basham says, "it is a Southern Pearly-eye. The best field mark is the
continuous orange coloration at the end of the antennas, all the way to the
tip. The other two Tennessee species would have a black band, out near the
tip. The Southerns are almost always found in the presence of cane and/or
Shagbark Hickory." According to BAMONA, there is no recorded record for this
species for Davidson County on their web site though that does not mean that
it does not occur regularly. Take the Delaware Skipper in Davidson County,
none recorded on that site until in 2009 (one record) and now there are
three records on four dates in 2010 in Davidson County.
