Enantia albania
In 3 days ~30% in a week ~50%
Enantia albania, the costa-spotted mimic-white, is a butterfly in the family Pieridae. It is native to tropical Mexico and Central America, but rare strays have been reported from the Lower Rio Grande Valley in Texas. The habitat consists of low- to mid-elevation tropical forests and coffee plantations.
The wingspan is 22–30 mm (0.87–1.18 in). Adults are on wing for a long period in Mexico, but have only been reported in September in southern Texas. There are multiple generations per year on Cuba and Hispaniola. They feed on flower nectar and bird droppings in the forest understory.
The larvae probably feed on Fabaceae species. Wikipedia →

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Costa-Spotted Mimic-White is recorded against all the insects logged in Lago de Yojoa (5 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
