生態圖裡有四隻大紫蛺蝶,後翅尾端有紅斑,牠們是日本的國蝶,
其中一隻是雌蝶,背面翅膀為茶紫色,三隻是雄蝶,
背面翅膀呈現藍紫色的光澤,還有黃色斑點,牠們在哪裡呢?
In this illustration are four great purple emperors (Sasakia charonda);
 this butterfly has red spots on the trailing edge of its hindwing, and
is the national butterfly of Japan. One is a female, distinguished by the tawny color
on its dorsal wings; the males have a glossy purple-blue section
on the dorsal side of their wings, as well as yellow spots. Do you see them?

有些沒有標示蝴蝶性別,
因為雌雄相似,或是圖片裡的性徵不明顯

Note
Some butterflies are not marked to indicate their genders,
because males and females look similar,
or because their sexual features are note apparent in the picture.

The answer is available
on the website of the Life Science Museum of Academia Sinica, Taiwan.
