| DISTRIBUTION in North Carolina: Restricted to the mountains in NC, with at least 13 county records, ranging from the Virginia border to the Georgia border. |
| ABUNDANCE in North Carolina: Rare; if it is mainly restricted to bogs and wet meadows, it is also very habitat-restricted. If it also occurs in upland forests, as it does in Georgia, it is not as restricted as formerly believed. |
| FLIGHT PERIOD in North Carolina: A single brood. At lower elevations (at least in the southern counties) the flight begins around mid-May, but in the higher elevations the flight doesn't begin until late June. The flight lasts about a month at any place, with the high elevation sites finishing around mid- to late July. |
