The middle two pics are both male and female, so they probably have more than just sharing some nectar on their mind. The last one is a he -- the strong black lines on the upper wing are sex markers which only the male has. They disseminate pheromones in some way no one quite understands.

Love the pics, especially the second one.

Thanks for the info. There was an awful lot of butterflies on the survey. Far to many to count in some cases but good for getting photos. C
