Spring. It was still chilly when we were there but we got buckets full. End of summer I didn't even find 1.
later in the season, around August or September
Winter when nobody else is looking.
I agree about the spring vs summer, and at least it's super warm in the spring in NC!
I don't think there is a better time. Maybe right after the winter? After a storm probably stirs things up too.
