Tawny-edged Skipper (Polites themistocles) |
| Home | Butterflies & Skippers | Dragonflies & Damselflies | Wildflowers |
| DISTRIBUTION in North Carolina: Essentially statewide, with records for all three provinces. It is present on the Outer Banks. |
| ABUNDANCE in North Carolina: Uncommon but widespread across the state; locally numerous in a few savannas and other dense grasslands. Somewhat more numerous in the eastern half of the state than in the western half. This species is not as common in NC as one would surmise by reading field guides, because of the "northern" bias of most guides. |
| FLIGHT PERIOD in North Carolina: Two broods; downstate it is present from early May to early July, and mid- to late July to mid-October. In the mountains, it is found from early June to late September. |
