I checked it too, and there were the colored counties; RI was solid! Makes
me wonder what they feed on E. of the Appalachians- not much pawpaw there.
As I said, I never saw the beast in NY or Penn. in my childhood years of
butterfly collecting. A few times in Ohio; piles of 'em in GA and MO. "Rare
at the N. edges of the range" sounds about right.
