Dreamy Duskywing (Erynnis icelus)

In NC, this species is common and is found in the mountains and western piedmont. Recent local populations have also been discovered across the northern piedmont. Dreamy Duskywings are single-brooded, flying from April to June. They are smaller than the similar Sleepy Duskywing, and they have longer palps, almost giving them a snout-like appearance.
