Region and Pine Barrens, but common almost everywhere in the

Ecological Distribution. — Essentially a humicolous xerophile, 

 apparently preferring campestral stations, but not uncommon in

Remarks. — Only the yellow-winged phase of this species seem^ to 

 occur in any numbers in our region. The red or orange-winged 

 phase I have never seen in the field, though it is possible that it may 

 occur as a very rare variant. This is in marked contrast to the 

 frequency of the red-winged phase in the Central Western States
