Hi all,

My thanks to those who responded, both on and off-line.

The first dragonfly was a Uhler's Sundragon, Helocordulia uhleri, and 
is likely not long out of the pupa, as it has blue eyes.

The second dragonfly was a Four-spotted Skimmer, Libellula 
quadrimaculata, also fresh out of the pupa, due to the amber colour 
on the leading edge of the wings as well as the milkiness of the 
wings, and the absence of the four spots, which will show up a couple 
of days later.

The butterfly was a Juvenal's Duskywing, Erynnis juvenalis.

As always, I learned a lot from the process, and will attempt to take 
more ode and lep shots as the summer progresses.

Cheers,
