Thanks to user kathleen_dvorak from Texas for submitting this Goatweed Leafwing (Anaea andria). https://www.e-butterfly.org/ebapp/en/checklists/view/121486
Did you know the looks of this species change according to the season?
While males in summer are dull red with a barely hooked forewing tip and a short tail on the hindwing, males in winter are brighter red with more dark markings, a definitely hooked forewing tip, and a longer tail. The winter female form has hooked forewing tips too.
