| DISTRIBUTION in North Carolina: Essentially throughout the Coastal Plain; also sparingly along the eastern and southern edge of the Piedmont, where recorded inland to Wake, Chatham, and Lincoln counties. |
| ABUNDANCE in North Carolina: Generally uncommon but widespread; may be fairly common at a few local sites (such as Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge). It is somewhat more numerous in tidewater counties than in the upper 2/3rds of the Coastal Plain. Uncommon to occasionally fairly common in the Sandhills; rare to very rare along the edge of the Piedmont. |
| FLIGHT PERIOD in North Carolina: Two broods, at least in the Coastal Plain; the first brood is from mid-May to mid-July, but June is the primary month. The second brood, clearly larger than the first, is generally from early September (rarely in August) to mid-October. The small Piedmont population might have essentially just one brood (in fall), or records may represent mostly strays from the adjacent Coastal Plain. |
