The Saint Francis’ satyr (''Neonympha mitchellii francisci'') is an endangered butterfly found only in North Carolina, USA. First discovered in 1983, it was officially described in 1989 and listed as a federally endangered species by the US Fish and Wildlife Service in 1994. It is a subspecies of ''N. mitchellii'' and is only known from a single metapopulation on Fort Bragg military base in Hoke and Cumberland Counties. The other subspecies, Mitchell's Satyr (''Neonympha mitchellii mitchellii''), is also federally endangered. ==Life History==
The St. Francis’ satyr is a small, dark brown butterfly with distinguishing white and yellow spots along the lower surfaces of both upper and lower wings. Females appear slightly larger and lighter brown than males. The average wing span is 34–44 mm. Adults live an average of 3–4 days. The species is bivoltine, with the first flight period occurring from late May to early June, and the second from late July to mid August. Females deposit eggs individually or in small clusters that emerge as larvae in 7–10 days. Caterpillars that emerge in early summer (first flight period) pupate after two months, while those that emerge in late summer (second flight period) overwinter and pupate the following spring. Pupation may take up to two weeks. One known larval host plant is ''Carex mitchelliana'', although it is likely that other sedges in the ''Carex'' genus may also act as host plants.
