Dave, that one looks like a Hackberry Emperor to me also! Nice one! Am loving all those pretty butterfly pics! I've now got a pair of Queens hanging together in the yard, so am hoping for eggs on the milkweed! The one with the ragged edge on one wing is female and the other is male.

I think this one is a Pipevine Swallowtail, although the color seems a bit off.

Maybe a Spicebush Swallowtail:

I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White
Integrity can never be taken. It can only be given, and I wasn't going to give it up to these people. Gary Mowad
