FEMALE SIDE
Here is my bilateral gynandromorph Eacles imperialis. I have included high resolution pictures of dorsal, ventral, head and tail shots. Notice the clasper is only on the male side. You can also see where the male changes into the female on the abdomen. On the dorsal side, notice the female portion of the abdomen is larger than the male portion. Also, on the ventral side, notice the color change. You can actually see a line where the color changes. I didn't notice this until I looked at the pictures. I have been planning on doing a web site of my own sometime soon and I plan to have a lot of information on these moths. I have become very interested in them. Keith Linn
