I got two from this weekend: Eurema (Abaeis) nicippe - Sleepy Orange and the most important: Vanessa virginiensis - The American Painted Lady. The last one is "most important" because I see it for first time on the Island (probably because I walked new trail with some different plants).

... I discovered this afternoon it is a Peacock Butterfly caterpillar.
Alan, I never came across one of these caterpillars, only the imago. But good to know that kind.

I'll throw in a garden tiger moth (Arctia caja), which funnily in German is a "brown bear" and not a tiger:
