    Default Male and female Holly Blue

    Have made this montage of a pair of Holly Blue butterflies
    They were taken at different time of course and the sin was brighter what the female was captured so she is a little blown.
    However. The female has a darker colour and a thick dark boarder around the upper fore wings and a thinner dark boarder around the upper hind wings wings. The under wing is similar to the male but again slightly darker

    Thank you Pete.
    I think it's a good idea where possible to show the different between the sexes.
