As an FYI, apparently Florida has a higher number of Queens than a lot of places. As a result, we get Viceroys that are much darker because they have adapted to mimic the Queen. Here's a picture I took last year of a Viceroy that has that darker coloring like the Queen. You can tell it's a Viceroy because of the curved line through the hind wing.
