Here are some shots of Sachems that I've taken over the past few years. The Sachem was the first TN skipper that I Identified and this was only because it was a male with it's wings spread open. Steve Stedman knows just how much trouble I've had with this 'fly in the past but I think I'm finally getting a grasp on identifying them. I'm pretty sure that all of these shots are of Sachems. Please send a correction to the group if you think any of them are not of a Sachem. http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p193/kjchilds/sachem1-1.jpg http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p193/kjchilds/sachem2.jpg http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p193/kjchilds/sachem3.jpg http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p193/kjchilds/sachem4.jpg I assume this butterfly was named for the Algonquian word for the Chief of a confederation of tribes. If so, here's how it's pronounced. http://www.merriam-webster.com/cgi-bin/audio.pl?sachem02.wav=sachem%27 Ken Childs Henderson, TN Chester County http://www.finishflagfarms.com The FAQ can be found by logging in at //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/lsg2.cgi/l=tn-butterflies Please report any abuse or questions about this list to: kjchilds@xxxxxxxxxx Users can unsubscribe from this list by sending email to tn-butterflies-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field.
