7Chilasa clytia
9Lexias pardalis
10Charaxes bernadus
11Elymnias hypermnestra

2 Lamproptera meges virescens
4 Appias libythea
6 Graphium (Pathysa) nomius swinhoei - a different species from G. aristeus
8 Catopsilia pomona male
A Euploea mulciber mulciber male, C female
B difficult to be certain but possibly E. klugii

Adam.

PS. The easy way to distinguish Graphium nomius from Graphium aristeus is to look at the submarginal spots on the forewing. Note that in G. nomius the spots are rounded and the second spot from the apex is displaced outwards from the rest (easy to see in the photo). In G. aristeus the spots are all in line, and flattened on their sides, making a stripe down the submargin.
