August 9, 2009 Participating in the annual Greene County butterfly count today, I recorded nine personal FOY species for the county: Harvester Northern Pearly-eye Hoary Edge Southern Cloudywing Crossline Skipper Northern Broken-Dash Little Glassywing Delaware Skipper Lace-winged Roadside-Skipper Today was probably the hottest day of the year so far in Greene County, which made for good butterflying. The party I was in tallied 42 species. Results from other participants are not yet in, but I anticipate a pretty high species total. Individual numbers in my party were, for the most part, way down--in line with the general poor showing for butterflies in the county in this very wet summer. Previous species tallies on this count are as follows: 2004--50 2005--52 2006--50 2007--48 2008--46 Don Miller Greeneville, Greene Co., TN
