Where were these images taken? The last image is not a butterfly...

The first one is a tropical papilionid; looks like Atrophaneura polydorus - http://davekimble.net/rainforest/insects/atrophaneura.polydorus.red-bodied.swallowtail.3.jpg.htm

The second one is another tropical paplionid; I have seen similar specimens labeled as Atrophaneura semperi, but I cannot be certain that is correct. see https://www.dreamstime.com/stock-photo-atrophaneura-semperi-species-butterfly-family-papilionidae-found-indonesia-malaysia-philippines-image70943927 for an example.

The third one appears to be Papilio polymnestor, known as the Indian blue mormon - https://www.ifoundbutterflies.org/sp/580/Papilio-polymnestor

The fourth one is Diaethria clymena, a Souh American nymphalid known as the 88 butterfly - see https://www.learnaboutbutterflies.com/Amazon%20-%20Diaethria%20clymena.htm

For the last picture, you're absolutely right: I entered it by mistake, I think sitratti of Panorpa vulgaris - Mecoptera, Panorpidae - (male?).

The butterflies, instead, I found them surfing the net; they struck me and I wanted to know the name to do research on them.
But I can not find anything.
Thanks anyway !!!!!

Ciao, ciao!!!!
