So Easy to Sex These - _TNY_7114

This nicely zebra-styled beauty I found at the Haga Ocean butterfly house in Solna, Sweden, is perhaps a bit surprisingly named the orange-banded shoemaker (Catonephele orites). I have no idea where the shoemaker moniker comes from, but the orange band has a very logical reason.

This species displays a very distinctive sexual dimorphism where the female looks like this in black and white with a couple of red spots, but the male is a super-deep black colour with a intensely orange bar across the wings. I haven't (yet) photographed the male, but I have shots of the similar blue-frosted banner (Catonephele numiila) so have a look at this one: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/52801790504/ and basically connect the orange dots.
