Sarasota News Leader May 24, 2013 The clubs (i.e., the tips) of their antennae are turquoise — not just any turquoise, but the enameled turquoise blue of a robin's egg. I hope you readers will have a chance to observe this butterfly in a still pose for a long enough period of nectaring time so you can see these exquisite details in the wild. Barring that, I have included photos of a male and female for you to enjoy. Yes! Some butterfly species do display sexual dimorphism. Please note that in one photo, the unusual blue tinge on a female's wings is not a trick shot or enhanced photography! The photo was taken in deep shade with the sunlight behind the butterfly. Lovely! Thank you Mark, Diane and Rick for your curiosity and interest in our wondrous wildlife and for your great photos and questions! Otus % A Great Southern White male. File photo Page 79
