first group are not butterflies -
Except this one....
Ghost Yellow - Eurema albula
Scientific names are basically correct except some very minor and very few typos.
What surprises me a lot is that
Amara aenea is kept in captivity. People that runs insect houses, and normal visitors too, almost always only want giant exotic insects.

@AdrianW1963 , like
@Kakapo I'm surprised that
Amara aena is kept at a collection like this. Check pictures of Pachnoda marginata, often labelled as sun beetles, and see if this is the species you saw

Really a so gigantic alive butterfly collection can even exist in the world?!?!?! I suppose that it's the list of all the species that they kept in the whole history... Anyway most of them are very rare in butterfly houses!
Tropical Milkweed Butterfly - Asclepias curassavica
The scientific name is that of the milkweed, not of any butterfly.

It's the complete list they currently have I am awaiting a list of previous species held at the collection as I have said before this place breeds butterflies for the rest of Europe and for rare breeding programmes around the world it's a little gem that get's very rarely mentioned on here.
