Some great photos of the Orsis Bluewing (Myscelia orsis) -
Re: Myscelia orsis
Beautiful photos.
Yours?
I only saw this butterfly once in Northern Argentina in 2018.
The one I saw was in nowhere near as pristine condition as these.
I remember seeing drawers full of this species at BMNH on a visit in the 1980s. Although I believe it is being bred now in Brazil/Paraguay it is still a species missing from my collection.
Attaching my photo from August 2018 which is on another thread too.

No, some images I found around the web.
There are at least a couple of species of Myscelia that occasionally stray across the TX border, such as M. ethusa -
