The is the Small Blue butterfly. It's scientific name is Cupido minimus.
Our smallest butterfly. Upperwings brown with blue dusting. Undersides pales blue with row of black spots.
Our smallest resident butterfly is easily overlooked, partly because of its size and dusky coloring, but partly because it is often confined to small patches of sheltered grassland where its sole food plant, Kidney Vetch, is found.
This butterfly is "somewhat different" because it is so tiny.
This is the Mariposa or giant butterfly lives in the Philippines. I couldn't find out any other information about it.
This butterfly is "somewhat different" because it is so large.
This is the Banded Peacock butterfly. It is a rare butterfly. Found in Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka and parts of South Asia, the Banded Peacock is known as quite the fast flyer. Its name comes from the pattern of black and green wing bands, reminiscent of a peacock. It is a species of swallowtail (Papilionidae) butterfly.
The butterfly is solitary and a fast flyer. It flies high above and forages on the trees (e.g., creeper blooms on bamboo). However, occasionally it is attracted to bright flowers of plants on the ground as well (e.g., dwarf red Ixora). It flutters in a hurry while sipping nectar.
It is distinguished due to its color which is shiny fluorescent blue or green depending on the angle of observation. The magnificent colors are due to scales in interior of its wings. Also there are spots in the bottom of its hind wings similar to eyespots. The exterior of wings is brownish black with patterns similar to eyespots. Perhaps the only protection for this species is self-mimicry through the eyespots as regards to its morphology, considering its bright peacock colors and its fast flight.
This butterfly is "somewhat different" because it is rare.
This is the Blue Moon butterfly. The Great Eggfly (Hypolimnas bolina), also called the Blue Moon Butterfly in New Zealand or Common Eggfly, is a species of nymphalid butterfly.
H. bolina is found in Madagascar in the west, through to South and Southeast Asia, South Pacific islands (French Polynesia, Tonga, Tuvalu, Samoa, Vanuatu), and occurs in parts of Australia, Japan, and New Zealand.
H. bolina is a fairly common butterfly found in lightly wooded country, deciduous forests, thick and moist scrub, and the greener parts of human habitats.
On the Samoan Islands of Upolu and Savai'i, a parasite (probably Wolbachia) had been killing the male members of Hypolimnas bolina. The problem was so severe that by the year 2001, males made up only 1% of the population. However, in 2007, it was reported that within a span of just 10 generations (less than a year), the males had evolved to develop immunity to the parasite, and the male population increased to nearly 40%. That's really a good thing or these butterflies would be rare as well.
This butterfly is "somewhat different" because it is unique.
I hope you enjoyed learning about these "somewhat different" butterflies. I know I did.

Skipper Butterfly:
Skippers are a family, Hesperiidae, of the Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies). Being diurnal, they are generally called as butterflies although they are placed in a superfamily Hesperioidea which is a sister-group of the Papilionoidea. They are so named for their quick, darting flight habits. Most have the antenna tip modified into a narrow hook like projection. More than 3500 species of skippers are recognized, and they occur worldwide, but with the greatest diversity in the Neotropical regions of Central and South America.
