I am in the process of finding out what kind of butterflies these are - - I know nothing about butterflies.

Most of these shots are taken hand held. The bush is on my neighbor's property & they have an insane Queenland Heeler in their yard. There's a brick wall in between the properties & I'm juggling rose bushes, my plants & other bushes, dodging very angry hummingbirds & the bees to get these....

Some are however shot with a monopod. Pay attention to EXIFs as some are shot with a TC while others are shot in Manual mode & some have flash on them.
