It's one of my fav's and IMO the female are more beautiful than the male.
I like that the socks matching the antennae in colours and pattern.
In the WS Click here you can see the big difference between the sexes.
I love these small butterflies and I hope you like them too.

The lower surfaces of the back wings are yellowish and have only a few black dots; there are characteristic white marks the immediate vicinity of these. The species exhibits one kind of sexual dimorphism: male butterflies are colored bright gold-red on the upper side of wing, while the females have broader orange wings with a dark design.
