Strymon bazochii

It is found from Paraguay north through Central America, the West Indies and Mexico to southern Texas.

Adults feed on nectar from various flowers, including Bidens alba, Lantana species and Stachytarpheta jamaicensis.

Strymon bazochii generally have metallic, brown wings with speckled, blue hues.

Within an average of thirty-one days, a caterpillar will have grown and begun forming its chrysalis.

Over time, the protective layer will harden and exhibit a dark brown color, indicating the imminent emergence of the butterfly.
