Nearby was this Giant White who hopefully has seen better days.
One of the first butterflies I saw in the orange grove this morning was this worn skipper that got me all excited. It was about the size of a Mimosa Skipper and heavily worn. I thought I had found something pretty good but couldn't think of any species that matched. After getting home and checking the books, it looks like it has to be a small, worn Dorantes Longtail.
Theona Checkerspots have invaded the Weslaco area. I had three at Frontera and one in my yard.
Not your everyday view of a White-striped Longtail.
Another butterfly not usually seen in Weslaco is Nysa Roadside-Skipper. I found this one in my yard a couple of days ago and Mike Rickard had one at Frontera yesterday.
