Was it free in the wild? Because that species extends from Central and northern South America, to southern Texas and the tip of Florida (its northern range). Was it in the Butterfly Landing, Franklin Park Zoo? If so, then the ID is right... http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/gallery?stage=All&species_view=All&species_type=All&family=All&field_sciname_value=Siproeta+stelenes&field_comname_value=
