| DISTRIBUTION in North Carolina: Scattered over the entire state, but many gaps in the range are present. |
| ABUNDANCE in North Carolina: Rare over most of the state; most numerous in the lower Coastal Plain. Locally uncommon in the lower Coastal Plain and along the Outer Banks; surprisingly numerous in the Great Dismal Swamp. Very rare in most of the Piedmont. |
| FLIGHT PERIOD in North Carolina: A single brood. As with most butterflies found in all three provinces, the flight in the Coastal Plain is earlier -- mid-May to mid-June, rarely to early July, but in the mountains on the wing mostly from late June to mid- or late July. Except for the Oak Hairstreak, it flies slightly earlier than the other Satyrium species in North Carolina, perhaps by about five days. |
