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.
