I spotted another possible Confused yesterday. This one was spooked out of the deep, wet grass and didn't allow me to get close enough for good photos but I'm pretty sure it's a confused. If it is a Confused, this would be #6 for the year. I have yet to see one feeding on anything which seems odd. Even the one I saw on Lantana wasn't feeding. http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p193/kjchilds/IMG_9455.jpg http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p193/kjchilds/IMG_9456.jpg I can't believe that my farm is the only hotbed of Confusion in Tennessee so keep you eyes open and cameras clicking.
