Male+female?

HenkM2000

Last week, I asked you what kind of butterfly this was.
I know now, because someone told me that. Thanks for that!!
It are graphium antiphates, but I didn't know which are male and which female...
I chose two of which I thought it are male+female.
Are those and which one is male and which one female?
Thank you very much!!

Hello Henk,

I look the species up in Pisuth Ek-Amnuak "Butterflies of Thailand" - a wounderful book. In females the 2nd black bar (counting from the thorax) passes through the vein on the forewing (cubitus ?, M3 ?). Ayway, it is continued from the FW discal cell into the next region.

You may also have a look at Khwe Sin Khoon's Blog "Butterflies of Singapore": Fivebar Swordtail
He has also written a nice fieldguide.

Hello Holger,
The right one when you see the picture like on my post? (Wrong side above)
Is the other one a female then?
Thank you!!

I think so. On the right hand side (head down) looks like a male.
