I added this because I believe it is the current late date for all of BG

flight times
There are September photos from Georgia and many other states in the guide, but you nice photo is very welcome! The species flies through October in the southern states.
Thanks!

Yes, the information section in BG, (and other sources) states that the (second) flight extends into October in the south. MPG also has a record in October. It is a minor point, but when I saw no October records in BG, I became curious, and I quickly went through the September records. I did not see a record as late as 9/24 (I think the latest ones were around 9/11). I'm sure there are plenty of later records out there, they are just not in BG as far as I can tell.
