Hi

I am no good with Canadian Butterflies but No2 Is a Painted Lady, No 1 is a a species of the Genus Colias, I think you refer to them as Sulphurs

Number 1 is a Sulphur, but I can't tell which species without books.

I believe #3 is a Question Mark (Polygonia interrogationis).
 
No 1 is a Clouded Sulphur,Colias philodice afaik. If not all my Clouded Sulphur's from Newfoundland are wrongly identified.
