| #4 is a buckeye #7 is an atlas moth I've taken pictures of #5 at various butterfly houses but I cannot remember its name. I believe the buckeye is the only USA native. |

| Butterfly houses raise mostly tropical butterflies, and most of these appear to be heliconians, which eat passionvines. The one with the yellow body appears to be a birdwing, from Australia. The pale colored one with lines is a large tree nymph. Sherry |
