Im guessing they are all butterflies. I would love to put them into bugfiles, but Im unsure of the names.
Any help would be appreciated.
Can you help me ID a few?

you have these in Co. ??? They are Tropical Butterflies. Lost my books in Katrina but you can look at my web site at the pics from Butterfly World to see if any ID'd are the same as yours.

Oh no Donna not in Colorado... well kinda LOL. It was at a butterfly pavillion.. one of my most favorite places to go.
Thank you for the links. I will give them a look.

Number 2 is the Julia Butterfly (Dryas julia) http://www.nearctica.com/butter/plate13/Diulia.htm
The first one is probably one of the many varieties of the Postman (Heliconius melpomene) http://www.harkphoto.com/butterflyworld.html
Number 3 looks like another variant or sex of the Postman (Heliconius melpomene) http://www.westford.com/fingerhut/Butterfiles.htm
Number 4 looks like a Birdwing, one of the Orthoptera species. It could be Goliath Birdwing Orthoptera
