Least Skipper (Ancyloxypha numitor) |
| Home | Butterflies & Skippers | Dragonflies & Damselflies | Wildflowers |
| DISTRIBUTION in North Carolina: Statewide, but in somewhat local colonies; present in all provinces, and undoubtedly occurs in all 100 counties. |
| ABUNDANCE in North Carolina: Local in occurrence, but common to occasionally abundant where found. Slightly more numerous in the tidewater section, including the Outer Banks, than elsewhere. |
| FLIGHT PERIOD in North Carolina: Apparently three broods statewide. Downstate, the first brood is clearly from early May to June 5-10. Later broods (two or possibly three) run together and are difficult to discern from the flight data, but the species is present consistently from mid-June to mid-October. In the mountains, the first brood occurs from mid-May to late June, with the second and third broods occurring from the beginning of July to early October. |
