Thank you! I had no idea what these were, but there are a bunch around the house. I wish I could have gotten their wings clearer.
I appreciate you responding. I have seen your images so your response really means a lot!

Both excellent shots, and I think you achieved near perfect focus. I especially like that butterfly.
