The following species were observed by Julius Basham and Stephen Johnson in the Chilhowie area of Polk County, TN on Sunday, April 12, 2009.
It was nice to discover a colony of Mottled Duskywings. Interestingly still no Dreamy Duskywings have been seen to date. Expecting them this weekend! Also, Pepper and Salt Skipper and Cobweb Skipper were found in a new location miles distant from previous known sites.
