Sub-tropical butterflies - identifiaction?
I'm going round in circles trying to identify some captive-bred butterfles from:
There seem to be lots of sites on these, which I presume to be mainly tropical but I seem to be going round in circles .... anyone know of comprehensive sites or have an ideas about species?
The butterfly house was in the Parc Florale in Orléans and was very good illustrating breeding, metamorphosis, feeding, physiology &c but giving no idea of the species  ...

Thanks a couple of useful galleries there.
Looking at the Linnaeus one - must have been nice when there was only one genus of butterfly!

There must be an equivalent of "ukmoths" and "ukbutterflies" for other countries - I guess the trick is finding out which country the butterfly is from?
