Five from Costa Rica

Post by dragnil »

Hi all, Have just returned from CR with these shots taken when the birdwatching was quiet which wasn't much! This is not my field of expertise so any help in identifying these would be gratefully received.

Many thanks in advance.

Here are my suggestions:

5 and 4 - Heliconius sara (see eg: http://www.westford.com/fingerhut/Butte ... s-sara.jpg)
3 - Anartia fatima (see eg: http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/environment/N ... fatima.jpg)
2 - Tithorea tarricina (see eg: http://www.sarahmcvey.com/Images/Tithor ... na%201.jpg)
1 - Phoebis sennae (see eg: http://www.schmetterlingspark.de/fotos/ ... oebis1.JPG)
