They are feeding on an Aristolochia elegans

I think you're right PS. And to think I had searched all the cats for Florida. There aren't too many good pics of them out there. Thanks!

Oh my, can't believe I missed this one!! I had them earlier. I had planted the native aristolochia to attract them. They are ugly little critters aren't they?
