Index of Subjects Marg, I'll guess your all-brown butterfly seen from the car was perhaps a mourning cloak -- adults are around from earliest Spring (overwinter as adults) and then all Summer and Autumn (multiple generations). A closer sighting would show yellow or whitish outer borders on the wings. Your all-yellow-butterfly with black edges was probably a sulphur, but 2 or 3 different species would be possibles.
