I must add my two cents to the Pyrgus centaureae wyandot issue.
When I lived in Virginia in the late 70's and early 80's, Pyrgus centaureae
wyandot was not a hard bug to find. I collected Pyrgus centaureae wyandot in
the following counties in Virginia:
Albemarle, Augusta, Bath, Bedford, Bland, Carroll, Craig, Flyod, Giles,
Grayson, Highland, Montgomery, Pulaski, Rockbridge, Smyth, Tazewell, Wyth and
Wise.
In North Carolina:
Cherokee, Haywood, Jackson, Surry, Wilkes, and Yancey.
I have also collected Pyrgus centaureae wyandot in Michigan, Ohio, Tennessee,
and West Virginia. I have collected over a great deal of the eastern United
States and have NEVER found it near civilization. Always in remote and wild
places.
RE: Butterflies at UV light.
I have operated light traps for over twenty years and have collected 41
species of butterflies and skippers in light traps. I collected over 200
Asterocampa clyton in one light trap along the Rio Grand near Fronton, Texas
in 1996.
