I'm not sure what type this first one is:

This I know is a swallowtail, missing one tail

I'm sure you know the first is a Monarch. It's a great photo.

Thanks Rubberhead. I'll profess total ignorance and say no, I didn't realize it. Which is sad since there's a "butterfly farm" in the open space behind my house where they migrate through. I guess I've just never seen one

Sorry for being presumptuous - I thought you were being light-hearted about not knowing the first butterfly. It is a great photo of a butterfly that many of us would love to get a good shot of.

The Monarch is the king of butterflies and, I assumed, the most recognizable species.

No worries, Rubberhead, you weren't being presumptuous. I'm glad to know what it is and I'll never forget now. I don't know how I've ever missed seeing one before, apparently they're all over. Thank you for your kind comments Reigh and Nathalie

Here's a link to a photo of a Monarch mimic called a Viceroy Butterfly.

http://www.photography​-on-the.net/forum/showthre​ad.php?t=182122

Monarchs taste very bad because of their diet as a caterpillar (milkweeds). Any bird that tries to eat a Monarch learns a quick lesson that Monarch’s are unpalatable. Scientists believe that Viceroy’s mimic this to avoid being eaten.

I just haven’t heard what happens if a bird tries a Viceroy first?

Thank you very much Kirk for looking and commenting I'm glad you liked them. And thanks for the link Rubberhead, that is really interesting. Hopefully I'll be able to remember :D .

Thank you Tim

and actually no, I didn't use the macro, I used the 300 f/4 since I was out at a wildlife preserve and was travelling light with only that one lens.
