    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.

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