On Saturday, I will fill in as necessary, with male and female underside. It so happens that I have a lot of them. The underside, in my opinion more beautiful than the top.

Basil. This is a photo of the female, and the male is distinguished by a bright green color of the upper wings. If you need to give the photo. According to my observations, the scope of males ranging from 70 to 100 mm. In some, the past or the year before it was recognized as the most beautiful butterfly of the world - in English the Sunset moth - moth rising sun.In my opinion, it has successfully learned to breed in SE Asia, because the commercial price of butterflies is very low.
