A very late day look at a skittish Eastern Pine Elfin on Pyxidanthera barubulata. When I tried to improve my angle, the butterfly flew.
Thankful to get an ID image. My first look at a Pine Elfin in the NC Sandhills Game Land.

The 1 female I located on 09/08 and she only gave me a brief look. I have my best success in open, sunny locations. I spent another hour checking Ironweed beneath the Longleaf Pines without success.
