    Hi Faryd, #4 is Tawny Coster and #1 is probably the male Striped Albatross. Sorry I can't help you with #2 and #3, which I will leave to the experts. When shooting, please try not to pick the butterflies, as you may hurt them if you did not pick them up properly/the right way. Cheers.

    1 is Appias libythea.
    4. is Acraea violae.

    1 & 4 as Id'ed by Brian.

    2 is Ideopsis juventah.

    3 is an Euploea sp. & is very difficult without reference as Euploea species have very marked regional differences.

    You can googled Butterflies of West Java & download the pdf for reference.
    I am unable to do so because of connectivity problems.

    Seow, you beat me to it, again, including the comment on the Euploea sp.!!!!

    Another website you may wish to look at is Tentang Semarang Lepidoptera, to be found here. I think that Semarang is reasonably close enough to you to be of help, though I do not think they have a full list yet.

    Regarding picking up a specimen, it is not recommended. Try to get photos naturally.
