Doug Bruce, Mindy Fawver, Harold Howell, Ed LeGrand, and I spent the day in 
Trousdale County, finding 38 species of butterflies, including 14 species that 
should prove to be BAMONA records if one or another of us obtained a useful 
photo of those species.  Here is the list for the day (most numbers 10 and over 
are conservative estimates):

Long-tailed Skipper 3 (BAMONA)
Hayhurst's Scallopwing 2 (BAMONA)
Checkered-Skipper sp. 10
Common Sootywing 16
Fiery Skipper 10 (BAMONA)
Sachem 24
Tawny-edged Skipper 4
Dun Skipper 1 (BAMONA)
Pipevine Swallowtail 8
Black Swallowtail 5 (BAMONA)
Giant Swallowtail 1
Eastern Tiger Swallowtail 2
Spicebush Swallowtail 3
Checkered White 40
Orange Sulphur 5
Southern Dogface 5 (BAMONA)

Northern Pearly-eye 5 (BAMONA)
Gemmed Satyr 4 (BAMONA)

Total species: 38

If all 14 BAMONA species are in fact documented with photos, the BAMONA 
butterfly list for Trousdale County will become 42.
