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/butterflymoth.html 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.
