Looks like the other mystery Butterfly actually is a type of Skipper, most likely the Horace’s Duskywing Skipper and this guy is apparently the most common Duskywing in Houston. Both Joshua (again from Joshua’s Native Plants) and my neighbor were able to identify this previously unknown Butterfly. It likes to feed on oaks and wisteria has also been reported.
Thanks for those who threw out some guesses on the mystery Butterflies! It’s always exciting for me when I learn something new and it was nice to have others share their knowledge as well.
