Eudryas
There are several species in this genus with the same generalized lovely pattern. See the guide section under that genus. Always a pleasant find.

unio?
I think it looks most like Eudryas unio.

Do you concur?

with that wavy margin to the white area
we would certainly agree with E. unio. Did you really take this picture today? Guess it's so astounding because we have 2 inches of snow on the ground here in Chicago!

Florida
Yes, I took the picture today. Florida is a great place for insects. If you are thinking about this one:, that is not mine. It is a strange coincidence that it was posted so soon after mine.
