They're all beautiful shots! I'm no expert, but, I think I recognize a Monarch in images 7 and 8, as well as a female Black Swallowtail in image #9.

Someone told me that #5 is actually a moth and not a butterfly. No idea.
I think you're right 1, 7, 8 are Monarchs I should have known that.

Looks like the other ones are "Viceroy" Limenitis archippus.

5 is definitely a butterfly. Moths have different style of antenna's. I am fairly certain that the first few are queen butterflies (Danaus gilippus).

nice shots btw!

You're right that's a better fit. I'll note that in the keywords.
