I was on a photo shoot today in a small nature area in Houston, TX. It was a very slow day so I started getting some shots of butterflies/moths. I can't seem to find and ID on these two. Can someone please help? The photos do not seem to be showing on this post but they are NEW PHOTOS in the 'Photos' section. Thanks, Chris To hide these ads please register / sign in

I am looking thru the books I have and have looked thru one of the above lists. Hopefully one of us will come up with the names of the butterflies you pictured.

I think the lower one is Florida leafwing, Anaea floridalis
