North American Ecology (US and Canada)

Strymon bazochii is a resident of North America only at the very southern tip of Texas, and is migratory slightly further north; it ranges south to Brazil and the Greater Antilles, and was introduced to Hawaii (Scott 1986). Habitats are subtropical open areas. Host plants are herbaceous and restricted to several species in family Verbenaceae. Eggs are laid on the host inflorescences singly. Larvae eat flowers and fruits. There are multiple flights year-round (Scott 1986).
