The Guava Skipper, also known as the Blue Butterfly, is a small butterfly species found in Texas. With a wingspan of up to 3 cm, its wings are blue-gray and feature intricate black patterns. These butterflies can be found in woodlands, gardens, and agricultural fields and are an important pollinator in their ecosystem.

The Essex Skipper Butterfly lives in habitats where there is long grass. Its key identifying feature is the sharply defined, glossy black tip to the underside of each antenna. The antennae tips appear to have been dipped in black ink, leaving a stain on the undersides but not the uppersides. The antennae are often bright orange-brown above and paler underneath, with the black tip forming a sharp contrast.
