Limenitis archippus
The viceroy butterfly is dark orange with black veins. A row of white spots edge its wings. Its color and pattern mimics the monarch butterfly's pattern except for a black horizontal stripe that crosses the bottom of its back wings. The viceroy caterpillar is white and olive-brown. http://www.nhptv.org/natureworks/viceroy...

Thanks Machi, I have a mental bloc with these two!
Hey James, I think this is also a Viceroy based on the black line across its lower wing. Beautiful nonetheless!
