Most probably a Heliconius melpomene, maybe an intermediate form or a hybrid, commonly seen in butterfly houses. https://www.flickr.com/photos/52450054@N04/8368479257/ http://lifeandscience.org/files/u3/bfly_postman01.jpg http://andyslens.zenfolio.com/butterflies/h1A4106B2#h1a4106b2 http://www.pinterest.com/pin/495818240198450101/ http://www.shutterstock.com/de/pic-9785845/stock-photo-piano-key-butterfly-heliconius-melpomene.html?src=YSqtEcZZHgfg3lHnCR2LqQ-1-63

Not the same butterfly. Look at the edge on the hind wing. One is wavy one is not. The First butterfly is a heliconius I believe. Second is a swallow of some kind?
