DISTRIBUTION in North Carolina: Statewide, undoubtedly occurring in all 100 counties. |
ABUNDANCE in North Carolina: Fairly common over most of the state, but least numerous in the Piedmont, where often uncommon. Usually not colonial, but at times ten or more may be seen in a day. Quite common in parts of the state in 2001, which was a surprising "invasion" year. |
FLIGHT PERIOD in North Carolina: Probably three broods with no clear gaps in the flight periods except for a brood break in mid-June in the Piedmont; ranges from late March to late October, very rarely in midwinter. |
