| Home | Butterflies & Skippers | Dragonflies & Damselflies | Wildflowers |
| DISTRIBUTION in North Carolina: Statewide, occurring in all provinces on numerous occasions, and doubtless present in all counties. |
| ABUNDANCE in North Carolina: In late summer and fall, it is very common to abundant in the southeastern corner of the state; common to very common elsewhere in the Coastal Plain and the eastern half of the Piedmont; uncommon to fairly common in the western Piedmont and mountains. It is generally uncommon, at best, in any province prior to late July or early August. |
| FLIGHT PERIOD in North Carolina: The primary flight period, seemingly of one long brood, is early July to early November, rarely to early December. The first brood in NC is comparatively small; this flight period is from mid-April into June. Though often considered as migratory, the Clouded Skipper in NC may be more of a "winter-stressed" species instead. |
