Welcome aboard, and nice to see you! You have arrived at the most "quick study" butterfly place on the whole net. People become experts here in no time at all! (At least on what they get in their own gardens...)
Great job on IDing the Butterflies, and great pics too..;-) (as usual).

I am always perusing the shelves of my local Half Price Book Store for good butterfly books. I do know all books are not available at all stores , but it is worth a look-see.... I found a nifty little beginner guide and they had about 6 copies for 4.50 each. (List price is 8.95.)

The plant info doesn't give the botanical names, but it covers a lot of info in a tiny little book. I am sending one to my MIL for her birthday, and since I have seeds for almost all the host plants listed inside I am going to label the seed packets with common and botanical names and put the page number on the packets. :-) MIL (Gladnes) lives in NJ.

Elaine, Ducks would be a great idea for that little creek/pond... I would just keep them in cages until they were able to fend for themselves. They take about 6 months to mature enough to fly, etc.
