O.K. all you knowledgable Butterfly people . . .I love butterflies but know very little about them. I have seen what I'm sure is an ultra-common butterfly flitting about my yard, but I don't have a clue what it is.

I know. . .the insect I.D. forum is probably where I should be, but this is more fun cause I get to look at all your beautiful pics!

I finally got a quick picture (they don't seem to 'park' very often). Though not the greatest shot I think it shows enough to tell what it is.

The following two pictures are the same, but I cropped one closer in case it helps show the markings better.


Thanks for allowing me to show you all how dumb I am with regards to butterflies!! If it were a bird we wouldn't be having this conversation.
