    Where were the butterflies photographed?
    Knowing where the butterflies are from will help get a proper ID.

    I ask because the first one appears to be a Myscelia ethusa Mexican Bluewing and doesn't range as much further north than south Texas, living mostly in Mexico....at least there have been no reports of one in Canada.
