Texas Butterfly 
Common Mestra
Common Mestra
Mestra amymone
The Common Mestra is found primarily in South Texas but is an occasional stray throughout the state. I saw it with semi-regularity when I lived in San Angelo, Texas. It is a weak flier and tends to glide flat-winged.
It is white above with a pale orange border on the hind wing. Underneath, it is mostly pail orange with white bands.

Collected butterflies in my neighborhood and nearby fields/woodlands as a child in the late 60’s in Corpus Christi, TX. In my collection I had this butterfly (Common Mestra) but never knew what it was until many years later into adulthood.
