A Cloudless Sulphur butterfly

This one might be a Mexican Yellow, but it's likely a Tailed Orange butterfly. Due to the flower it's on, it's hard to tell, but off of the flower, they were very orange.

That is what the top butterfly is, a Queen butterfly. The Queen and the Monarch are two different species of butterfly in the same family; Danaus gilippus thersippus vs. Danaus p. plexippus. The Queen butterfly is actually fairly common out here.
