Here’s a Tiger Swallowtail
This is a Silver Spotted Skipper
This one is called a Painted Lady
I stumbled on a few others but the photos didn’t all come out so great. Either way this next one is by far my favorite.
I’m still not certain of his name. He looks a lot like a Zebra Swallowtail or a Pale Swallowtail but the coloring is off some. I think he is fabulous whatever his name!
Now if I could just find that plant. I think I need to start my garden off with that flower, what do you think?

I've always wanted to have a garden that would attract butterflies. Those photos are so lovely!!!!
Those flowers would attract more than butterflies! They are so purty!
Oglebay... West Virginia? I don't think Pale Swallowtails live on the eastern part of the USA.
http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/ has a good online identification search thingy. Looks like a Zebra Swallowtail going by their picture of one.
:)
p.s., I've no idea what the flower is - perhaps the museum had a brochure on them?
Wow - you're quite the photographer! New hobby maybe?? Yeah I know - in your spare time - right?!
OH Wow you know we have one here by the house and I've never gone. That would be a GREAT way to just relax!
Yes that flower is awesome!!
