Hi,

I filmed these in Elne in the south of france in a butterfly garden. I bought a book of which they said that all the butterflies in the garden were in there, but a few of them I can't find in there or elsewhere for that matter. Can anyone help?

Thanks,

André

First my suggestions for Nymphalidae:

1. and 4. Junonia almana.
2. Salamis parhassus.

Number 1 looks like peacock pansy, a species i've seen in India, but i don't have my books with me to confirm this or give you the scientific name.

I think that 1. and 4. have now been confirmed as Peacock Pansy (Junonia almana).

3. is probably Battus polydamas.

Thanks a lot sofar, Harri and Dave. No. 5 must be some kind of Papilio. But which?

Butterfly

Hi,

I have no idea, similar butterfly I saw in Malaysia. On island Penang was a butterfly parc with asian butterflies.
Maybe a chance is to find out an internet address of this parc.
Address I think is
830 Jalan Teluk Bahang, Penang
+60 4 885 1253
