    very nice. it is better to post such comparative images in the natural history section. In fact it will be good if you can also highlight on the reason why the females are more brighter colored, polyandrous and territorial and the males are choosy in selecting mates.

    Nice sighting of both the male and female. Wish the light was less harsh. The low angle looks nice. Good eye contact. Thanks for sharing.
