Limenitis archippus floridensis - Florida Viceroy - Limenitis archippus
Naples - Eagle Lakes Park, Collier County, Florida, USA
March 10, 2008
Found early morning in marshy area. I thought it was a viceroy but I was puzzled by the additional white on inner mid-hind wing and lighter color on upper edge of that wing.

Good eye!
Looks like there's a Florida subspecies of viceroy--take a look here.

Thank you
Thank you for the ID. I believe you have this one right on. I noticed the difference as it flew by. It just looked darker and different inside and out. This is very neat to me. Thank you. I'll tag and move to Florida Viceroy.

It's a monach butterfly. I used to catch them as a child.

Not a monarch
because of the black arc across the hind wings; otherwise a very good monarch mimic.
