Butterfly Weekend

This must have been my weekend for butterflies. We saw quite a number of them while out hiking and at the beach, and these four obligingly sat for a portrait. Update: Thanks to TH for identifying these for me - I never knew you were a butterfly fancier! Sizes are approximate. 






Papilio Glaucus (Eastern Tiger Swallowtail) - Size 3" across








Vanessa Antiopa (Mourning Cloak) - Size 3-1/2" across








Celastrina Ladon (Spring Azure) - Size 1-1/4" across








Hylephila Phyleus (Fiery Skipper) - Size 1-1/2" across
