I created this site to make sure you don't overlook them :)
All of these photos were taken by me, an amateur photographer and lepidopterist, using a simple point-n-shoot Canon PowerShot G6 digital camera (handheld, no tripod). Any photo editing was done with Adobe Photoshop 7.0.
I view this website as my "Butterfly Collection," one where I don't have to hurt any animal, but yet I can still "capture & collect" them as a hobby. This is the type of collecting that should be taught in our schools, which is a much more positive form of collection. Hopefully, this type of collecting will be the wave of the future.
I have all the Tennessee species listed here on my site, but provide links only to those animals I have actually had the pleasure of photographing myself. As my collection grows, so too will the number of links and thus this website :)
