CLOSED: Butterfies in my garden but not in my reference book
I believe that the one in the first two images is Papilio demoleus, an Old World papilionid that has colonized Central America and the Caribbean – see http://www.butterflycircle.com/checklist/mugshots/Papilio%20demoleus%20malayanus/Papilio%20demoleus%20malayanus%20%28Lime%20Butterfly%29%20top.JPG for an image.
The white one is a nymphalid in the genus Mestra, likely M. dorcas - https://www.flickr.com/photos/20408991@N03/12687854065/
The last one appears to be a gulf fritillary, also known as a tropical silverspot butterfly - http://hummingbirdhall.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Destination-Wedding-Butterfly-Release-in-Jamaica-Butterfly.jpg
