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. :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.

TL Seow:cheers:

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 (http://haliaster.web.id/slw/en/). 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.
