| DISTRIBUTION in North Carolina: Throughout the Coastal Plain, and scattered over most of the Piedmont. Found at the edge of the mountains in the Hickorynut Gorge vicinity, and in Macon County in 2003. |
| ABUNDANCE in North Carolina: Uncommon to locally fairly common in the Coastal Plain, rare in the lower Piedmont, and very rare in most of the Piedmont range. Apparently common in a few places in the Coastal Plain, such as Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge in Dare County. |
| FLIGHT PERIOD in North Carolina: At least three flights: mid-March to late April, early May to late June, and mid-July to late October, with the last brood (or possibly two broods) being much more common. The spring broods are quite brief, at least relative to the last one. |
