Hi all,

I am trying to hand pair some butterflies, and I am having trouble 
determining structures on the male. I know it sounds stupid, but between the 
claspers I see 4 moving structures and I cannot determine which is the 
penis. I have searched all over in my books and online, but I cannot find a 
decent picture. Any ideas? My e-mail is glaucus at earthlink.net Thanks very 
much!
