Thank you so much! I have a hard time differentiating between Sulphurs! Any corrections of mistakes in my identifications are ALWAYS appreciated! I have had difficulty with the various fritillaries as well! So you know of a site or an identification book that puts photos of the different varieties side by side, so that the comparisons can be noted? It would also help if both undersides and topsides of the wings could be displayed, as well as male/female differences side by side!

I am posting photos of some others for ID. (The swallow-tailed Appy I know!) Unknown fritillaries, and another sulphur. Is this a great spangled fritillary or an aphrodite fritillary, or another, or two different ones, or M/F of the same variety?

Also a couple of photos of another sulphur. Is this the same as my first photo, or a different type, or perhaps a M or the same?

Thanks again!
