Abstract:

The crystal skipper (Atrytonopsis), a native butterfly to coastal North Carolina is one of a family of butterflies known for their darting flight habits. Development in the Bogue Banks area in recent years has threatened habit for this butterfly. Efforts are advancing to encourage propagation of plants like seaside little bluestem helpful to the crystal skipper's habitat.
