- Question - Why is one a vibrant yellow and the other a duller green? Is there a colour difference between sexes? Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:36, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
- Says so in the article: "There are two female forms: one is similar to the males, while the other is yellowish/greenish white." — raekyt 02:38, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, it is called Sexual dimorphism, not all BFs have it but this species does. --Paolo Costa 04:20, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

- Support Awesome capture of a (presumably) hard-to-catch scene. Depth-of-field is a little shallow, but the focus is in the right place. -RunningOnBrains(talk) 06:15, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
- Also, I think this deserves a place in the sexual dimorphism article. -RunningOnBrains(talk) 06:16, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
- That article is over-illustrated as it is though, so probably not. — raekyt 18:20, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
- Support - Was going to link sexual dimorphism above but thought it applied only to size differences. Very nice. Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:15, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

- Support has focus problems but I think these can be forgiven for small objects like insects and I'm guessing that this is a difficult shot to get. Pine(talk) 08:17, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
