Danke bayucca! I think your correct about the 4th picture and it is a Red Postman Butterfly (Heliconius erato) so I can add this to my other spotting of this species. As for the Laparus doris viridis, I do think subspecies are important as well, but I don't have any other pictures of it to verify the subspecies. I will add viridis as the scientific name however and thank you for your help! :)

Thank you! This guy gave me a lot of trouble when I was trying to snap some quick pictures, but I'm glad they came out. :)

Thank you Sachin Zaveri! Bayucca, I have side profile and a view of the top of the wings. Based on the Wikipedia site for Doris Longwing, the picture of Laparus doris viridis has a different pattern on the wings than my spotting. Here's the site so you can check it out. It's the top right picture!
