This is the best I could do. Whenever I tried to get closer they flew away.

Just what I thought northlight - the "eyes" are stunning!

I love the second one, joxsville. :cool: Well done!

Thanks all. I think 1 & 3 are fritillery's but not sure which because there is so many different types and 2 is peacock butterfly. Mind you, I'm only taking educated guess-I read a book about butterflies as a teenager so 30 years later I could be wrong. Maybe another orger could help with info.

2) peacock
3) red admiral

Thanks for the info TC. Now I must go and rest, I've lost 2/3rd of my memory.
