The gulf frits must all be in west TN. They were nectaring this morning as soon
as the temp reached 40! Ken Childs

Butterfly season is heading into extra innings, so here’s a “what’s still
flying” report. Mindy Fawver and I went hiking at the Sundquist Unit of Royal
Blue WMA, in Campbell County, this afternoon (November 13). The temperature
rose to probably 62 or 63, and we saw a dozen species still flying. We found a
tattered Eastern Tailed-Blue nectaring on aster. Looking back through my
notes, this appears to be my latest date for this species in Tennessee. Has
anyone else seen one later? Full list: Checkered-Skipper sp.Clouded
