DESCRIPTION   A.A., Cecil, Dor., Gar., Har., Kent, Montgomery, P.G., Som., Wic. and Wo. Counties. June 8th, August 5th to October 12th. Occurs mainly in the southern U.S. and thence into the Neotropics. The only recorded food plant is a species of wild coffee, Psychotria nervosa Sweet, reported (as P. undata, a synonym) by Kimball (1965:217). As Psychotria is not present in most of its range, tyralis must have other hosts. The 2007 image was taken from Edgewater, FL 17th of March. e r
