Todays butterfly take

Santa Fe, TX(Zone 9b)

We had sun today. Also had very strong winds. I found a sheltered spot and found a number of butterflies. I am posting 10. Please help me ID several, and correct me if I am wrong on the ones I name.

1 of 10. I think a Least Skipper

Bump.

Well, your Satyr looks like a Carolina Satyr to me. Picutre #4 looks like some kind of crescent, but I'm not very good with those since we only get the Phaeon and Pearl Crescent where I live.

C'mon everyone - jump in and help identify these guys!
