On a beautiful Sunday morning (11-15-09) I found myself in Cades Cove of the
Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Since I was there with family and friends,
I didn't expect to be adding to the butterfly list for Blount County, but the
warm weather brought out a few butterflies - including Painted Lady and Common
Buckeye.
The star of the show was a MEADOW FRITILLARY near the first cabin you come to
on the right as you drive into the Cove. This was the first I have ever had a
chance to photograph one. This individual does not show the whitish coloring on
the underside of the wings, especially the hind wing, but I do believe the
identification is correct. Please review and correct if necessary!!
