This is a digital photograph of two Great Southern White butterflies (Ascia monuste), having sex. Luckily, they have built in privacy drapes. ;)

I have no idea how to tell the sex of butterflies. *L* Though you could probably look it up on line if you were really curious. :)

Prolly, I just figure that like most of the animal kingdom the male is the more brightly colored. I guess you're glad you're not one of those nature photographers that make those guide books that have the little male or female symbols next to the scientific name.

Yeah, I figure that the sex of the butterflies only matters to breeders, and other butterflies. *L*
