In this case, I suggest, that you delete #1 from this spotting (by editing) and make a separate spotting from #1. In my eyes definitely not the same butterfly, might be the same species. I did not check male/female dimorphism.

I can't confirm 100% it is the same. But, if it is the colour that makes you think they are different than that should not because it just the camera/lightning. They were both the same colour and shade as in the first picture.

Nymphalidae, Eurytela dryope angulata, at least the second one, please, verify the species for the first one, if they really are the same. http://www.flickr.com/photos/ivl_wildlife_photography/8332093365/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/d_ant-5058086/3594976808/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/d_ant-5058086/3594167363/in/set-72157617386068273 http://www.flickr.com/photos/thenunsofgaborone/3479573062/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/johanvanrensburg/3077232361/
