Flutterbyes

My front porch, 3:30 p.m. today:  a truckload of company dropped by.  Click on any picture to enlarge.


Butterfly to bee: 
Hey, beat it, bud - I'm working this side of the street!

Of course you expect this from me - some gratuitous sex skin petunias:

And finally, the last shot I caught turned out to be the perfect shot.  Enlarge to appreciate the very fine details.

Okay, at least one of you guys must know what make and model butterflies these are.  They're all just 2"-3" across, max.  Little help here?

Update:  The ex-roommate called last night and thinks it's a painted lady, but I'm inclined to go with a red admiral.  What do you think?

These are beautiful as well. Ahhh I never have any luck with hanging baskets. They dry up and hang lower and lower.
