From the list below, select one butterfly that could be added to either exhibit and one that could be added to neither exhibit. Make only two selections, one in each column.

As per the requirements (must have):
  Butterfly of Asia:  
Atleast 3 butterflies must exists in Asia.

Blue Butterfly:  
Atleast 3 butterflies must be partially/wholly blue in color

Already Selected:
  Butterfly of Asia Exhibit:  
2 butterflies exist in Asia, and 1 does not.

Blue Butterfly Exhibit:  
2 butterflies are partially/wholly blue in color, and 1 is not

So the last butterfly (in each) should meet the  must have requirement

Peacock Butterfly (rusty red, Asia).... Can be selected for Butterfly of Asia Exhibit but not for Blue Butterfly Exhibit. 
Sapho Longwing (blue and black, Central America).... Can be selected for Blue Butterfly Exhibit but not for Butterfly of Asia Exhibit. 
Monarch Butterfly (orange and black, North America)..... Can not be selected for any exhibit, as it does not meet any of the must have requirement. 
Pipevine Swallowtail (light blue and gray, North America).... Can be selected for Blue Butterfly Exhibit but not for Butterfly of Asia Exhibit. 
Emerald Swallowtail (blue and green, South Asia)..... Can be selected for any exhibit, as it meets both of the must have requirements.

Either exhibit - Emerald Swallowtail (blue and green, South Asia)
Neither exhibit - Monarch Butterfly (orange and black, North America)

Asia:
- at least 3/4 must be in Asia 
- 2/3 are in Southeast Asia
==> The remaining must be in Asia

Blue:
- at least 3/4 must be at least partially blue 
- 2/3 are at least blue partially blue 
==> The remaining must be at least partially blue

Either exhibit  must be (i) in Asia and (ii) at least partially blue 
=> Emerald Swallowtail

Neither exhibit  must not be (i) in Asia and (ii) any blue
=> Peacok Butterfly
