Butterflies for Mellow Yellow Monday

Butterflies are a delightful nature accent to each day at this time of year.  We have an old lilac tree (bush?) which attract several of these flying creatures.  this year most noticeable seen feeding there are Red Admirals.  Other years yellow  swallowtails have been most prevalent. I have seen a few swallowtails flying by the past few days but none yet in our lilac bushes,

I have seen American ladies feeding on dandelions and that event creates a very colourful picture. yesterday I saw a Question Mark butterfly in our lilacs, perhaps I am going out on a limb naming it a Question Mark, but the body shape and outline suggested to me it might be of that  anglewing species.

I have seen many little yellow butterflies flitting about in the grass and they are most frustrating to photograph.  when they finally do land, it is most often with their wings closed. this one shown below allowed my camera to get a view of its side wing and from its markings there I have identified it as a Clouded Sulfur Butterfly.
