I just got back from a week on the Pacific coast of Colombia in Chocó department. I photographed a few birds and butterflies. Here are the latter. I have no guide to help me with these so if you know any of them please chime in.

Beautiful pictures!!
The first three appear to be heliconians/longwings - I think the first one is heliconius erato.
The 4th one is probably realted to our leafwings, but I'm not sure.
The 5th one is some type of South American daggerwing.
The 6th one is some type of South American sister.
The 7th one is some type of crescent.
And the 8th and last one is a white peacock - I knew they were a widespread butterfly, but not that widespread! They're plentiful in south Florida.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful pictures, Peter!
