Hello Lorenzo,

1. Blue Pansy Junonia oenone oenone
3. Any Sailer Neptis sp., difficult to tell apart.
4. probably Buquet's Vagrant (= Green-eyed Monster) Nepheronia buquetii

It would help to know, where the butterflies come from. "Africa" is large.

Yours
Merlin

Many thanks, this helps a lot!

Those photos were taken by a friend of mine during his holiday in Africa, but I don't know exactly where...
