Butterfly on Flower.jpg

This appears to be The zebra longwing, Heliconius charithonia (Linnaeus), and was designated the state butterfly of Florida in 1996. A denizen of more forested settings, it frequents subtropical hammocks, forest margins, shrubby thickets, and adjacent open areas. It is a regular sight in many butterfly gardens and suburban yards and parks.
