Male vs. female

[fred_heath at power-one.com]

        Good point. I should have made myself clear that I was asking about wing
pattern differences-- things that you can see without actually handling the 
creature. I thought maybe the original post suggested that this had been figured
out for the Buckeye and I was simply curious, since I was not aware of any such 
differences. I take it from your post that there is no difference that you know 
of in male vs. female wing patterns.
