Hello. Iam not shure on this butterflies below because they come from Costa Rica except the supposed Argynnis niobe which is from germany. On the Costa Rican's i have no literature about it, need expert opinion  Regards, Rick Makro Freak attached the following image:  [82.79Kb] Edited by Makro Freak on 08-01-2008 16:08 |

About the supposed Argynnis niobe, it looks like it indeed, but it is from Costa Rica ! Rather unlikely ?? Theo |

You might find something useful on this Nicaragua site, e.g. J.M. Maes: Papilionidae (Lepidoptera) de Nicaragua. 241 pp. (PDF with many colour photos). |

The second one is Papilionidae (Swallowtails and Birdwings), something around Atropheneura. The caterpillar food plant will probably be Aristolochiaceae. The third is Pieridae, somewhere near Belenois? The fourth is also Papilionidae, Papilio itself I should think. The larval food plant may be some sort of citrus. I don't know the last one. I'm basing this on my knowledge of Australian butterflies - I don't know the Costa Rican fauna at all.

Please don't be misguided since these images were apparently taken at a butterfly farm and at least No.2 is definitely not a Neotropical sp. (Idaea leuconoe, Nymphalidae-Danainae)

Thank you very much for your help, the PDF was very useful. I think they was breeded in costa rica but showing asian and southamerican species What i found out is that Number one is Argynnis adippe Number two should be Papilo ? Number three is Idea leuconoe Number four is ? Number six should be Heliconius sp Rick |

Aha, so number 3 is a Danaid - that makes sense. I was troubled that it did not actually look right for a Pierid but sucked in by the white with black veins. Rick - number 4 will be Papilio or something very close. Susan |

I think No. 3 is a (tattered) Pachliopta aristolochiae (Afghanistan and India to Japan) |
