Images unlinked
The two linked images were different species; linked images are supposed to be of the same individual.

Linked species different
Sorry. Same flower, different species. I'm new here but I assume there's a way to unlink them.

Already done.
No worries; I already unlinked them, Robert. It's very easy - just click on "unlink images".

Looks like...
Larger butterfly, with brown and white -- Painted Lady -- Vanessa cardui

Smaller one -- some kind of small skipper (family Hesperiidae).
