A couple more new butterflies from this afternoon, September 13, 2017.
These were both tiny. The first three, brown one, is perhaps 2-3 mm long and flew with very fast wing beats like a Hummingbird Moth, except it landed on the flowers to feed. They were fairly numerous.
The fourth, blue butterfly, was even smaller perhaps 1-2 mm long. It flew about rapidly and constantly and I was not able to get a picture until I took a break from #1 and turned around to see one right behind me.
I would appreciate any help with an ID on either.
