Well, they weren't exactly in my garden. I went with DD#2 on a field trip to a small local zoo. They have a butterfly sanctuary and I got a couple shots of some pretty butterflies that I wanted to share. I had to find the names myself online, I think I've got them right.
Common Buckeye
Malachite

Yep, you have the names correct. We have Buckeyes here but the other two are tropical, northern Mexico and south. They are gorgeous.
