Hello Everyone
I've come into possession of 4 Papilio grosesmithi from Madagascar, one of which I'm told is a female. However, i don;t know which one is the female. I've attached a photo of all four. If somebody can tell me which one it is I'd be very grateful. I'm hoping it is either number 1 or 2 in the photo as they are in the best condition.
Thank you.

G'day Ronald,
I'm sorry to say, but I don't think you've got any female.

Yes,all the 4 specimens look to have claspers - so all males. Papilionidae are very easy to sex - just check if they have claspers on the end of the abdomen.

They're definitely all males.
