Comments: The above Little Yellow I found on the Raleigh Butterfly Count on July 24, 1999. It was the first report in North Carolina for the season. In 1998 they were very common and found much earlier in the season. The Little Yellow at right was found in Lawrence County, Ohio on October 25, 2000 notice the reddish dot it`s not as noticeable in our North Carolina species.
