Caught this trio in a nectaring frenzy in one of the Great War cemeteries on the Somme last October. And, wouldn't you know it, a red admiral had just departed the scene! On one bush of Michelmas daisies I counted thirty peacocks!*

The orange/black/white ones are called Angolan White Ladies
The white ones I think are Two Dotted Borders (The book I have doesn't have great images of the whites with wings shut and it is only on South African Species)
The turquoise/black one is called a Large Striped Swordtail.
Taken in Congo.
I was very spoilt as they congregated along the riverbanks in groups like this very regularly!

Changed my mind!
I think this photo fits the bill...
![Image](http://www.guypadfield.com/images2007/groupphoto.jpg)
It shows...
... in the back row:
Amanda's blue, then a group of black-veined whites with a wood white...
... in the middle row:
Amanda's blue, Escher's blue, Amanda's blue...
... and in the front row:
Turquoise blue, mazarine blue, then three Amanda's blues
Edit: I've just re-examined the photo at full res., and others I took at the same time, and for the record the middle one in the bottom row is Escher's blue, not Amanda's.
