Rick's critter looks like a Silver -Bordered Fritillary to me but Jim's
nice Swallowtail is a mystery. Kind of resembles a Black or Spicebush ST
that has lost many scales, but have no clue if their range extends to
TN.
Fun to look at though--thanks.

Nice Jim... but I've got to tell you - the Butterfly Bushes in our yard
outdraw the Rose of Sharons
by almost five to one in their attraction to our winged friends. If you
don't have one, plant the purple variety first. More fragrance (and
nectar?)
than the pinks or whites. Saying that, I see our white ROS out pulls
both
the pink and the all red.
