You're welcome Malcolm. With that ventral view there is only the cardinal.
Thanks for the ID Daniele.
@ Fluttershylovesmusic, take a look at this website http://www.loc.gov/rr/scitech/mysteries/... it explains some basic differences between butterflies and moths. The club antennae identify this as a Butterfly with the patterning similar to most fritillaries.
Fritillaries are a group of Butterflies which all look similar but have slightly different patterns.
Hope this all helps.
I think it's some kind of moth. (This is kind of a dumb statement)
