Eurema frieda f. discopunctata Baumann & Reissinger, 1969
Pyrisitia nise, the mimosa yellow, is a
butterfly in the family
Pieridae. It is found from
Argentina north to the
Texas Gulf Coast and throughout central and southern
Florida, northward to the
Tennessee Valley. It is an occasional stray to central Texas and south-eastern
Arizona and rarely to southern
California, southern
Colorado and
Kansas. The habitat consists of brushy woodland edges.[2]
The
wingspan is 29–51 mm (1.1–2.0 in). Both sexes are yellow. The upperside of the forewing has narrow black outer edges. Black margins of the hindwing are uncommon in males, but always absent in females. Adults are on wing from May to August in southern Florida, September to November in southern Texas and all year round in the tropics. Adults feed on flower
nectar.[2]
