Trying to ID some older non-bird nature pics and I'm stuck on this one.  Taken in upstate NY on October 7 of this year. I think it might be a type of Sulfur?

Two more butterfly/moth pics that I need help with. I've tried to ID for an hour and just don't know where to begin. Taken within the last week in upstate NY.

Your second set of butterflies are 1. a Silver-spotted Skipper and 2. possibly a Wild Indigo Duskywing.

I'd consider a Juvenal's Duskywing for that last wing, but I should note that even experts have problems with this genus.

Dogfaces have poodles on their forewings.

You were laughing and I was busy trying to find a picture of a poodle on a forewing.

Too soon old and too late smart. :wacko:

That's a Question Mark.

They're named for the question-mark marking on the forewing visible from the underside.
