Hi Leon! The first one looks like a Silver-Spotted Skipper although there are some similar butterflies I just discovered so someone let me know if they disagree. The second one is some kind of skipper. There are so many skippers I tend to just segregate them into "orange" and "brown". The third is a Painted Lady. Very nice photos, all around! Someone else chime in if you know the second skipper. I've seen ones that look like that here, too but I don't know if they're the same and I can't remember the name anyway. Fiery Skipper, maybe? I'm an expert on the Florida ones; you Midwestern folks confuse me! Hilarious!
