User / Lydia Fravel / Common Mestra (Mestra amymone) National Butterfly Center, Mission, Hidalgo County Texas
Lydia Fravel / 3,659 items
Delicate and fragile with a slow gliding flight, this tropical butterfly species is capable of wandering far from its normal Central American, Mexican and West Indies range according to BugGuide.

Three Mestra species exist, but only M. amymone occurs in North America and it is presumed, based on capture records that it may breed even farther north than South Texas.
