    ID on these butterflies, please

    I ran across these butterflies having a pow wow the other morning so I went back in the early evening with my camera, and they were still there. I don't know if it's much of a photo, but I am curious as to what they are.

    Thanks

    Thanks Knight. I went online and found out they are northern pearly eyes. They feed on tree sap, carrion and scat. Yummy. rrr: I had never seen these before. It's nice to have a name for them.
