DISTRIBUTION in North Carolina: Throughout the Coastal Plain, and along the extreme eastern and southern edge of the Piedmont, inland to southwestern Halifax, Franklin, Wake, and Lincoln counties.
ABUNDANCE in North Carolina: Uncommon and somewhat local in the Coastal Plain, though common in a few areas; very rare in the narrow Piedmont range. Seemingly quite scarce in the southern portion of the Coastal Plain, despite an abundance of habitat.
FLIGHT PERIOD in North Carolina: Three broods; early April to mid-May, mid-June into early July, and late July to late September. The second brood seems small, whereas the third is certainly the largest.
