Butterflies of late September

Unlike yesterday's bumbles, the butterflies behave more or less normally as summer winds to a close. Which ones you see may change, but they aren't frantic as the bees are. Mostly now it's skippers around here, with crescents and the occasional sulphur and white. Here are a few from the past week (you can see more on Facebook.)

First up, pearl crescents:
