[TN-Butterflies] Re: is this photo of sufficient quality to document a giant swallowtail in jackson county

When I first looked at the photo by Steve, I thought it was not clear enough to 
know that it was even a butterfly. I would have had to vote that it was not 
sufficient for a county record. But the painstaking work that Ken used on the 
photo, a job that would make any CSI envious, clearly shows that....we need to 
look more carefully at every record Ken submits to BAMONA!!! *L*

It looks pretty certain in this enhanced version of your photo.  :-)

The attached photo was all I could get before this  big fellow took off and 
disappeared.
 
I am thinking it is just too poor a photo to  document this swallowtail in 
Jackson County, but am wondering what others  think should be done with it.
 
Any candid thoughts welcome, shared or sent only to  me.
 
Thanks, Steve Stedman

Note: I did obtain five better quality photos that  documented Fiery Skipper, 
Little Glassywing, Dun Skipper, Little Yellow, and  Gray Hairstreak in Jackson 
County; presumably these constitute FOY records as  well. sjs
