| Home | Butterflies & Skippers | Dragonflies & Damselflies | Wildflowers |
| DISTRIBUTION in North Carolina: Statewide, not obviously favoring one province over another. It is found in all 100 counties. |
| ABUNDANCE in North Carolina: Common to very common across the state; one of the most often seen butterflies in NC, and a dozen or more swallowtails can often be seen in a single day. |
| FLIGHT PERIOD in North Carolina: Early March to early October (and exceptionally to November). At least two broods, and possibly three; the broods overlap, with no gaps. In the Coastal Plain and Piedmont, flight periods are apparently early March to late May, and early June to mid-September, with the "second" perhaps being composed of two broods. Mountain flights generally are from mid-March to mid- or late June, and late June into early October. |
