| DISTRIBUTION in North Carolina: Throughout the mountains, and in foothill ranges in the upper Piedmont. Formerly in the eastern Piedmont. |
| ABUNDANCE in North Carolina: Uncommon to locally fairly common in the mountains; rare to uncommon in the extreme upper Piedmont. Presumed to be absent now from the eastern Piedmont. |
| FLIGHT PERIOD in North Carolina: A single brood; mid-June to early October. Males fly mainly into early or mid-August; females fly from July to September. As with all Speyeria species, there appears to be some aestivation of individuals after the "peak" in June and July. |
