Is #2 some sort of glass-winged variety. The glass-winged butterfly is extinct so I never considered the existence of a glass-winged moth.

I actually thought it was a Syrphid fly at first.
A mimic of a mimic?

@Leafhead Hmm ... maybe.

I once wrote a poem about moths clustered around a screen door. The only phrase I remember from the poem is "myriad of moths".

@pixiedust
Poetic indeed. It's been a busy summer around my porch screen, though I keep the doors mostly closed to keep the parasitoids out and away from my caterpillars.
I have seen more butterflies than I can count on my last two butterfly outings, mostly Baltimores. Not a lot of Monarchs, but lots of caterpillars earlier in the Spring.
