What beautiful photos! I have seen a lot of butterflies in my backyard lately as well, but I doubt I could capture them as beautifully as you did. I'll try though!

Gorgeous pictures. I love butterflies. We don't have pretty ones like that. I notice they are on your butterfly bushes. I have 3 the same color. They attract bees, butterflies and hummingbird bees.
