Common Blue Morpho: Morpho peleides
Native to Central and South America; among the largest in the world (average wingspan of 5-8 inches); vivid, iridescent blue coloration is a result of microscopic scales on their wings, which reflect light
Monarch: Danaus plexippus
One of the most recognizable species in the world; annual migrations from eastern North America to the mountains of Central Mexico, and from Western North America to the coast of California; rest for the cool winter months in large aggregations, which may contain tens of millions of butterflies
Paper Kite: Idea leuconoe
Native to Southeast Asia and parts of Australia; floats in the air like a piece of paper drifting in the wind; its wingspan, averaging 3-4 inches, is accented by a spectacular black and white pattern
Dead Leaf: Kallima paralekta

Green Malachite: Siproeta stelenes
Neotropical, native to regions of Central and South America; named after the mineral malachite, which is similar in color to the bright green coloration found on its wings
Julia: Dryas julia
Found in regions of Central and South America; a member of the longwing (heliconian) family; larvae feed on poisonous passionvine, making the brightly-colored adult Julia distasteful to birds and other predators
Banded Peacock: Papilio palinurus
Primarily found in Southeast Asia; known for its iridescent green coloration, which results from light being refracted by scales on its wings
Emperor Swallowtail: Papilio ophidicephalus
Average wingspan close to 5 inches; largest swallowtail in South Africa; ophidicephalus means "snake head", referring to the mimic eye spots found on its hindwing
