Guess: To attract females, the males show off (generically). To keep from being eaten, females look less attractive (muted colors).
A good way is to examine the abdomen. Females tend to have rounder abdomens. Males have a slit at the tip, and females have a round holes where the eggs are laid.
I want to find out that question too
Butterflies are either male or female with most species the colors of the fore wings or hind wings are a bit different to differenciate the sex.
they have different patterns/colors males can't lay eggs daa do you different shape
The color is Blue
Butterflies have two sources of color pigmented color and structural color. Browns and yellows come from the pigment melanin, just like how humans tan. Butterflies get their shimmer from structural color, the light passes through multiple layers of their transparent wings and creates multiple reflections of light that intensify their colors.
of course there are how else could they reproduce, by asexual budding?
* petals with either bright colors or colors able to be seen by an insect's eye. * male and female parts on separate flowers.
No, the male flies do not lay eggs. Female flies are larger than male flies. The female flies lay over 900,000 eggs during their lifespan.
A donkey is the result of breeding male and female donkeys. This is true of all species. Horses give rise to horses and butterflies to butterflies.
no
well they have different colors on there backs but not the beaks
When you see different colors on fireflies it means they are mating. it also telling you if they are male or female.
No. The two insects will not mate with each other. And if a female of one is inseminated with semen from the other, fertilization will not occur. There is too great a difference between the two for fertility to result.
