| DISTRIBUTION in North Carolina: Statewide; undoubtedly occurs in all 100 counties. |
| ABUNDANCE in North Carolina: Common in the Coastal Plain; fairly common to common in the eastern and southern Piedmont; uncommon to fairly common in the northwestern Piedmont, but uncommon in the mountains. Noticeably more numerous in the eastern half of the state than in the western half. |
| FLIGHT PERIOD in North Carolina: Three, and possibly four, broods; however, it has a continuous presence in NC from March (rarely from February) into December. It is definitely a "late" flier among our widespread and common butterflies and is not numerous until June. It is not clear if it is a breeding resident in all of the state or is simply a migrant to at least the western portions. |
