By the way, I believe the second photo is of the Red-spotted Purple, Basilarchia astyanax. Only eastern populations have the red in the FW tips above. This butterfly mimics the toxic, bright blue Pipevine Swallowtail, thus gaining protection from birds.

The second one is very pretty. How'd you get them to stay still?
Nice pics!
