Since y'all were so helpful with the last ID, I'm hoping someone can confirm the identity of this beautiful orange visitor to my yard today. Based on my limited knowlege, I *think* it is a Viceroy. Anyone know?
Thank you!
Another butterfly ID challenge

on a Viceroy on the ventral there is a straight black vein with white spots thru the center

another beautiful shot juju
Thanks Donlaclair and Donna. I'm very excited! I hope the Monachs will notice the butterfly weed I planted this year. It doesn't have any flowers yet, but there are leaves for laying eggs...
they should if they haven't already
This one was laying eggs on my yellow milkweed...
Great shot, Dave!
Dave67 I'm curious what other kinds of butterflies do you see at your place .
We probably live within a few miles of each other.

Don, I'm not sure of the names but ive probably seen 3 or 4 different kinds of butterflies here. I'll have to plant some more things that they like so I can see more of them.
This forum is great for plant ideas.
(BTW, I live near 19 & Marine Parkway)
Dave ,This a great place for Butterfly 101.
Oh yeah I'm right around the corner near Troublecreek and Grand
