I will stick my neck out on number six and go for CETHOSIA MYRINA,female.
Male is smaller and has blue near the wing and a general purpulish suffusion.
Number three shows a resemblance for DRYAS JULIA on the UKB species page.

I would say that number 6 may be Cethosia biblis, but you would be safe in using one of its more general common names like Red Lacewing or Malay Lacewing.

I agree that number 3 is very closely related to Dryas julia, but everybody just calls it a Julia.

Cheers,
Vince
