Nymphalidae, Danainae, Ithomiini, Hyposcada virginiana. Cannot tell you the subspecies due to the same reasons like before with Mechanitis polymnia. It is either Hyposcada virginiana evanides or Hyposcada virginiana virginiana: http://www.butterfliesofamerica.com/L/hyposcada_virginiana_evanides.htm http://www.butterfliesofamerica.com/L/hyposcada_v_virginiana.htm
