Mottled Duskywing (Erynnis martialis) |
Home | Butterflies & Skippers | Dragonflies & Damselflies | Wildflowers |
DISTRIBUTION in North Carolina: Found at scattered sites in all three provinces, but just two known records for the northern half of the mountains. Just one recent Coastal Plain record away from the Sandhills. |
ABUNDANCE in North Carolina: Rare in the Piedmont and in the southern mountains. Very rare in the northern mountains, as well as the Sandhills. Seemingly absent from most of the Coastal Plain. |
FLIGHT PERIOD in North Carolina: Two broods, with the first almost certainly the larger of the two. The first brood in the Coastal Plain is mainly in April (and probably into May); the second is in late June and into July. The Piedmont flight periods are from mid-April to mid-June, and most of July. Much more data needed in the mountains. |
