Yes, they were in a mixed species aviary with Speckled Pigeons in Jungle Trails, but I had heard that they might move to the Butterfly Rainforest. The zoo no longer shows them on their website, so it's likely that they're gone. What a shame if they have.
 
from the list in the initial post, is there just one species of butterfly in this Butterfly Rainforest?

That's what the sign says, and that's all I ever saw. Weird exhibit name though if you're not going to just have butterflies in here.
 
I would say there used to be around a half a dozen species of butterflies in the Butterfly Rainforest. I have no idea what has happened to them all. It doesn't make much sense to have only one species of butterfly in a butterfly exhibit.
