I wonder if the beautiful orange butterfly that you posted might be a Gulf Fritillary, it might be worth a google search to doublecheck on its id

Just to finish off my posting contributions for this butterflies and moths topic with two Comma butterflies which are a Green Comma and an Eastern Comma. Thank you for hosting this topic, Judy. It has been very interesting to see so many beautiful images of fascinating flutter-bys that we share our environment with during our warmer months. What a wonderful reveal it all has been.

Thanks Judy! Glad you enjoyed, and
I bet Fred Ann knows what all of them are!

She has quite the collection and knows every
one of them.

"Like all insects, the moth, butterfly and skipper have exoskeletons and jointed limbs, but unlike other insects, the three all have membranous wings covered with pigmented scales, which give their taxonomic order its name, "Lepidoptera," or "scaly wings." The moth, typically dressing in plain colors and patterns and laboring at the night shift, represents the working class of the taxonomic order. The butterfly, adorned in flashy colors and patterns and abroad in the daylight, represents the hoity-toity. The skipper, with characteristics of both the moth and the butterfly, falls into an intermediate stage. Combined, the moths, butterflies and skippers comprise more than two hundred thousand species throughout the world and more than 10,000 in Canada, the United States and northern Mexico. Moth species outnumber the butterfly and skipper species combined by about eight or ten to one."
