It is an extremely rare migrant to the lower Rio Grande Valley in Texas. The habitat consists of forest openings and edges and roadcuts. The wingspan is 47 - 57 mm. The wings are yellow, the upper surface of the forewings with black margins projecting into the yellow ground color. Males have a black border on the hindwings, while females are lacking this border. Both sexes have tail-like hindwing projections. Adults are on wing from August to September in southern Texas and all year round in the tropics. Adults feed on flower nectar of a wide variety of flowers. The larvae feed on Diphysa species.
