DISTRIBUTION in North Carolina: Statewide, from the coast to the mountains, but scattered gaps in county distribution in the Piedmont and mountains; presumed, however, to occur in all NC counties. |
ABUNDANCE in North Carolina: Fairly common to locally common in the lower Coastal Plain; locally fairly common in the upper Coastal Plain and eastern Piedmont. However, uncommon in the mountains and the western 2/3rds of the Piedmont. |
FLIGHT PERIOD in North Carolina: Probably three broods, generally occurring from late April to early November. Rather scarce before mid-June, as the first brood is a small one. The second brood begins downstate in mid-June and in the mountains in early July, but the third brood overlaps broadly with the second. |
