The normal season of flight seems to be about July 1 to Sept. 10. 

 Unusually early and late dates of collection are: Mar. 20 at Tarpon 

 Springs, Fla. ; Apr. 5 at Plummers Island, Md.; Apr. 6 at Ocala, Fla. ; 

 May 12 at Rusk, Tex.; May 16 in Orange County, Fla.; June 4 in 

 Seminole County, Fla.; June 7 at Shreveport, La.; June 16 at Atlanta,

 Great Falls, Va.; Sept. 13 at Cabin John, Md.; Sept. 19 at Pelham, 

 N. H.; and Oct. 1 at Manhattan, Kans. Both sexes have been taken 

 at honeydew and there are three prey records — a female taken at 

 Washington, D. C, July 10, 1947, by Richard Boettcher, transporting 

 an immature Agelenopsis ; a female taken at Overbrook, Pa., July 19, 

 1914, by G. M. Greene, transporting an Agelenopsis naevia; and a 

 female taken at Manhattan, Kans., Aug. 28, 1949, by H. E. Evans, 

 transporting a female Agelenopsis pennsylvanica. 



The above records all apply to the typical color form. Males with 

 fulvous legs (variety leibyi) have been taken as follows: 2 c?', Atlanta, 

 Ga., June 16 and 19, 1942, P. W. Fattig (Emory Univ. and Washing- 

 ton). & (type), Edgecombe County, N. C, June 24, 1924, C. S. 

 Brimley (Raleigh), d", Raleigh, N. C, May 1, 1935 (State College, 

 Raleigh), d", Raleigh, N. C, June 16, 1927, C. S. Brimley (Raleigh), 

 cf , Southern Pines, N. C, June 19, 1949, H. and M. Townes (Townes). 

 d, Wake Count}-, N. C, July 1, 1951, H. and M. Townes (Townes). 

 5cf, Wallace, N. C, June 17, 1949, H. Townes (Townes and Dreis- 

 bach). cf , Cohunbia, S. C, May 25, 1951, G. F. Townes (G. Townes). 

 d, Morris, Tex., May 22, 1937 (Krombein). It should be noted that 

 all of these males were collected earlier in the season than is normal for 

 the typical form. With the five males from Wallace, N. C, three 

 males of the typical form were collected on the same day and in the 

 same habitat. 



This species occurs in Ontario and in most of the eastern half of the 

 United States. The normal flight range is about July 1 to Sept. 10, 

 but it is on the wing commonly in May, and in Florida in April.
