Need some help with butterfly IDs ....

This is the first year that I've noticed butterflies on my terrace, and I'm loving it! But it's really daunting trying to figure out what type they are ... could y'all help?

First one is a Red Admiral, the second is a Question Mark.
Btw there is a thread at the top of this forum that may be of interest to your DD.

Thanks for your help ...

You're referring to the "sticky" thread at the top of the forum? Thank you. I'll check out those sites to see if I can ID the rest of the butterflies I have questions about.

Yes, particular the one that is created to help ID them. I think it is the first link. It has pictures with the names and links to DG Bug Files too. :o)
Yep, just looked it is still the first one.
Note: That poor Red Admiral you caught, has had it very rough!!

Yes, I thought the Red Admiral had a tough life, too!

Great pictures. And that poor Red Admiral. Should not be having such a tough time, huh? But then again he lives in the big city. LOL.
