You are correct as long as the white stripes are accepted. The state's
link
<http://dos.myflorida.com/florida-facts/florida-state-symbols/state-butterfly/>
specifically states that the stripes are yellow but other sources show
them as white.
I don't recall that I've ever seen one. I've spent a lot of time
prowling the northern Everglades but they supposedly prefer hardwood
hammocks. I didn't have much access to those, mostly just marsh.

That attractive critter is a zebra longwing, Heliconius charitonia. I
have only seen them in B'fly aviaries but it is the

Mostly just know what's flying 'round here (currently nothing), Mike
