I strongly recommend the digest form. The summary of subject lines at the beginning lets you know if there is something you should see right away; otherwise, you can save just one e-mail to peruse at your leisure, instead of sorting through a crowded mailbox.
Owl's Hill was part of a bird list serve for a while and had to drop off because people kept getting into arguments and long, long back and forth discussions about things the rest of us weren't interested in. I commend the butterfly list serve for avoiding that!

The subscriber can still post, but won't get any emails. To do this go to,//www.freelists.org/list/tn-butterflies and in Choose an Action, change to Turn Vacation mode on (this is where you can also change to Digest, etc).When you want to access posts, go to//www.freelists.org/archive/tn-butterflies/, which is the Mailing List Archives for tn-butterflies, and click on the month you want. I have had the birding freelist that way for years. Now, please don't refrain from postingsightings, discussions, and your digitals.

This means we had nine counters in the field that day. Harold is a good friend, so I wanted to let everyone know he was out counting too! If you've never helped with a butterfly count, find one nearby, (or maybe not so nearby) and join in. The North American Butterfly Association encourages participation by all interested parties.

TN Snowberry Clearwing, Grapevine Epimenis (on Bladderpod blossoms), and one little orange moth. I have seen these before and never satisfactorily identified them. Best match from Covell, Moths of Eastern North America, is Orange Wing (Mellilla xanthometata). It looks right but not listed at right size - this was small, less than the size of Least Skipper. I'd say not more than 15mm. Orange Wing listed at 16 - 21 mm. Anyway, if anyone has experience with this one I'd appreciate a look and opinion. least moth photo: http://www.pbase.com/rconnorsnaturephoto/image/111011107 Also see photo of zebra swallowtails showing color and pattern differences. Not sure if its a male/female thing or just general variability of this species. mating zebras photo: http://www.pbase.com/rconnorsnaturephoto/image/111011209 Thanks in advance, Richard Connors Nashville A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above.
