The Duchess - _TNY_0358

Here is a somewhat disheveled beatuy known as the archduke (Lexias pardalis). And since it is a female, that would make it an archduchess, wouldn't it?

 

This species has very significant sexual dimorphism, ie the male and female look different from each other. For a shot showing the dorsal side of the male, have a look here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/54103087258/ and the ventral side here: www.flickr.com/photos/tinyturtle/54111981059/
