Crossline Skipper (Polites origenes) |
| Home | Butterflies & Skippers | Dragonflies & Damselflies | Wildflowers |
| DISTRIBUTION in North Carolina: Statewide; found in all three provinces, though no records for the Outer Banks. |
| ABUNDANCE in North Carolina: Common in the Piedmont and Sandhills; can be very common in some areas during the first brood, at least in the northern Piedmont; somewhat less common elsewhere, but fairly common in the mountains and most of the Coastal Plain. Abundance along the coast is uncertain, as there are no Outer Banks reports. This is a much more common species in NC than the Tawny-edged Skipper. |
| FLIGHT PERIOD in North Carolina: Two broods in NC; downstate, present from mid-May to early July, and mid- or late July to mid-October. In the mountains, it is found mainly in June and July, with a small second brood in September. |
