Butterflies have become a new interest for me to supplement my birding/photography and I haven't had time yet to really know what I'm looking at. I picked this up today and am hoping for help with the ID.

While I'm here, I would appreciate any suggestions as to ID reference texts or online sources that would cover what I will run across here in North-East China.

ID? eastern Kansas, USA

I know even less about butterflies than I did about birds when I started birding, so would appreciate any help with these four that I dug up from images I hadn't deleted from spending my summer 2015 in USA. These are all Johnson & Miami counties in Eastern Kansas.

note #4 is not a Painted Lady (look carefully at those dark based hindwings and then again at the forewings pattern...). Strangely it almost certainly is an Asian Admiral... was this one really from the US or did you see it in China?

PS: Asian Admiral aka Indian Red Admiral in the UK

Ah, you are correct, I was looking at my 2015 schedule not 2016 which this is. It was indeed in Panjin, Liaoning, China
