Phaon Cresentspot (Phyciodes phaon) - P.A.P.I. Lights Road, Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, Wilson, Florida

Here, this video of the BF shows off its flashy PAPI colors (PAPI lights are usually red and white and red as pink), though little is known about how BFs figure their approach paths to flowers.

FYI - P.A.P.I. or PAPI is an acronym for Precision Approach Path Indicator, and in this case the lights at this location where used for Space Shuttle landings where there were no second tries.
