Hi, i have a picture frame full of butterflies. I haven't got the slightest idea about what they are or where they're from. I was hoping someone would have some information on some of them. I tried uploading a photo but no matter what i do it says its to big which is highly fustrating but if you think you can identifty butterflies i can email you the photo. Thanks, Shane.

If you have iridescent blue wings in there it is probably all South American butterflies. That is national pastime down there. Africa also produces some but their colors are more muted than the SA variety.
Do you have any photo editing software? If so, why don't you reduce the size of the image and try attaching it again.

My best guess is that they are from Malaysia if they come all from the same region, because the upper left Kallima inachus andthe large in the middle, Trogonoptera brookiana, only meet together in Malaysia, furthermore that country is known for producing framed butterflies.

I would identify:
Kallima inachus; Kaniska canace; Junonia almana; Papilio sp.
? ? ? ?; Delias sp.; Graphium antiphates; Charaxes bernardus; Appias sp.
_______________Hypolimnas missipus male
Hebomoia glaucippe male; Trogonoptera brooksiana male; Tirumala septentrionis
Papilio xuthus; Anosia sp. ; Ixias sp. ; Vindula erota male; Papilio demodocus;
Polyura sp. ; Hebomoia glaucippe female; Catopsilia pomona female
Graphium sarpedon; Graphium agamemnon; Danaus sp.; Delias ( belissima? ); Graphium sp.
? ? ? ? ?; ____________________________________ Lycaenidae;
This is what I would identify them as, but I may be wrong, I am not the best at identifying butterflies

I quote : "Papilio xuthus; Anosia sp. ; Ixias sp. ; Vindula erota male; Papilio demodocus"
Better to say :
Papilio xuthus, Danaus genutia, Ixias pyrene, Vindula erota male, Papilio demoleus
and about "brooksiana" : brookania will be better.
Difficult to be sure since the picture is small size, but I guess that the two Delias are not Delias but Prioneris. Probably : Prioneris philonome.
Leaving aside T. brookiana and K. inachus, all these butterflies are very common in South Est Asia.
