| Satyrodes eurydice fumosa (Leussler, 1916) |
| Status: Common local resident |
| Flight Period(s): One flight, being found from 18 June – 16 July |
| Range: Satyrodes eurydice occupies a large swath from northern Alberta east to New Brunswick south to Pennsylvania and Nebraska. Subspecies fumosa is found in Nebraska, northern Iowa and northern Illinois. In Nebraska the species is absent south of the Platte River (due to geography and vegetation changes) although Ray Stanford has collected it in southwest Nebraska. |
| Larval Hostplant(s): Sedges including Carex lacustris, C. lupulina (Hop sedge), and C. stricta |
| Overwinter: As third and fourth instar larvae |
| Commentary/Habitat: Adults can be found adjacent to open streams and in marshes and wet road ditches. Their flight is weak, usually through grasses and small willows rather than over them. Perching also occurs below the top of vegetation. Once located the species is often abundant. Smoky Eyed Browns are common at Victoria Springs State Recreation Area in Custer County. |
