This top one is a Green Hair Streak, very flashy in contrast to the reddish-brown soil.
The bottom one I'm not sure of. When I first spotted it, I thought it was a cabbage white til I got closer and saw the different wing shape and more extensive black markings. It might be a Rocky Mtn Parnassius (Parnassius smintheus) .My favorite butterfly ID site has moved. For anyone who likes to look these things up, the USDS site is now hosted by the Montana State University at: http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org
