Sexual Dimorphism and Mating

There is not much difference in appearance between the male and female sexes, except for a silvery sex band that runs across the centre of the upper side of the male forewing. Also the females are paler compared to the males. In, anticipation for mating, the males either set up their territory on or close to the ground and wait for the females to arrive or they personally go in search for the females. Territorial disputes are common among the males and are expressed by the upward spiral flight of the males.
