Taken at the Conservatory of Flowers SFO. I should have taken photos of the ID chart so it wouldn't be necessary to post here but hindsight....

Number 2 is a Pipevine Swallowtail, "Battus philenor", I think...
No. 3 is a Gulf Fritillary, "Agraulis vanillae" I'll look for the first one. What's SFO stand for? San Fran something?

I can't find #1, maybe if you have a picture of the top it'd be easier. Sometimes those butterfly gardens have insects from anywhere in the world. That Conservatory of Flowers has a really nice website
