Both are lovely, but I realy like the giant swallowtail, the only ones I see here fly 20 feet up
thru the trees. The other I think is a Red Admiral.

ALHi Greggae :wave welcome! I did'nt see these, lovely butterfly shots..specially like number 1 with the shallow dof.

Thanks to both of you. Thanks Allen for id'ing the Red Archer. I wasn't sure what it was.
Sorry for the incorrect spelling in the original post. Perhaps you as a mod can correct it lynnma. I corrected it the way I know how but it still shows up incorrectly on the main page.

One more butterfly .....
for the road..... Absolutly beautiful. Composition bothers me a little though, dead center and too much either side.
Still a lovely photo,
