The dates are confusing. Are these all the same individual or should they be separated into three individual sightings?

All shots were taken on the s

All shots were taken on the same small patch of weeds, perhaps a dozen or so plants in all, planted as a border beside a partially constructed then abandoned building.

The two shots with caterpillars were taken on different days (Jun 29, Jul 09) but could include the same individuals. The adult landed on the latter date (Jul 09) while I was shooting the caterpillars.

Since the patch was isolated in several acres of mowed grounds, and the species so easily distinguished from anything else locally, I thought they could all be combined.
