There's always my backyard. :-)
Most of my butterflying is done at my place or at friends or neighbors. The
people here are pretty friendly and are happy to allow access to their property
as long as I let them know what I'm doing. Everything listed for Chester County
on BAMONA has been seen on my farm.
I'm hoping I can find the time to get out and about this year so I can get
Carroll, Crockett and Gibson counties on the map.

As the butterfly season kicks in I'll be reporting many county records. Many
will be of common species. I won't report these on TN-butterflies unless I
have a good list of butterflies to report for that day or its an early or late
reporting. I think we should use some discretion when reporting so as not to
inundate the list serve but if others feel differently than no problem- I can
manage.
I'd like to know of the butterfly hotspots in west TN. So far, I get numerous
species at Carroll Cabin Barrens State Natural Area, Cypress Grove Nature Park
in Jackson (there is a small flower garden) and the UT Gardens in Jackson.
I've seen some life species in the bottomlands and swamps but they don't have
much diversity, at least from my experience. I sent a note to Shelby Farms
Park in Memphis for them to consider a butterfly garden or field. Many fields
are mowed or lack good nectar sources. There is no butterfly user group for
the park so I don't know how serious they will take my request. I haven't
heard a response from the park.
I haven't seen any butterflies this year. So sad.
