Thanks! Well, Susan, I'm just starting to be able to ID butterflies, mostly because I just started photographing them a few weeks ago. Although I've been a "serious" amateur photog for beyond twenty years, BFs only caught my eye a few weeks ago, and they do make for some great subjects. Sadly, the big and beautiful BFs have been gone from our garden for most of this week.

Anyway, from top to bottom - a Great Spangled Frittilary, an Eastern Monarch, and a Tiger Swallowtail. Love your pic, BTW...
