Georgia Satyr Neonympha areolata

A southeastern satyr that is not common anywhere. Just makes it into south Arkansas though it is not found easily here. Related to the rare Mitchell's Satyr N. mitchellii which may occur in sites not yet identified farther west than the Carolinas. It should always be looked for. The Georgia has the bobbing endless flight of many of the satyrs. This one was taken in the Florida grasslands by Eric.
