What does it mean when a butterfly is sexually dimorphic

This is global zoological convention.anon - sexual dimorphism does not specifically mean size difference.......
I heard that Vindula Arsinoe butterflies are sexually dimorphic.

Sexual dimorphism (di - 2, morphism - shape or form) indicates that the 2 sexes of a species have differences in appearance or observable nature. This may be size, colouration, display patterns, behavioural traits etc. Read more here...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_dimo…

That butterfly has colouration dimorphism between male and female (at least from what I can tell from this brief article). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vindula_ars… Note the different colour pattern of the 2 pics showing each sex. Note also how the name is presented - Vindula arsinoe. The specific name, arsinoe is always written in lower case and the genus name, Vindula is always capitalised. This is global zoological convention.

anon - sexual dimorphism does not specifically mean size difference.

It means that one gender is much bigger than the other
