   The Red-bordered Pixie (Melanis pixe) ranges from the Lower Rio Grande Valley of South Texas southward to Costa Rica. This is a very attractive black butterfly, with yellow forewing tips, red to reddish orange spots along the lower hindwings and four red spots along the body. It is usually spotted on overcast days, and seldom in the sun.
   
   Melanis pixe has a wingspan of about 40 millimetres (1.6 in). Eggs are laid in groups of 10 to 30 on the host tree leaves, stems, or bark and the caterpillars feed on the leaves.
