Picture Title: Colorful butterflies feeding on minerals on a river beach. The butterfly species with yellow, green and black tiger stripes is the Five Bar Swordtail (Pathysa antiphates). The brown and white one is the Pendlebury's Zebra (Paranticopsis ramaceus). The light blue, black and a bit of red is Common Jay (Graphium doson). However there is another similar looking one called Blue Jay (Graphium evemon), this one does not have the red line separating the black triangle on the underside hindwing (pictured just behind the Common Jay).
