Males usually have narrow abdomen and claspers at the tip
and the all orange is also an indicator since the PM line can often be light orange to yellow with females.

Crescent Butterfly... male
Thank you so much Cliff! A photo friend just recently was bragging to me about how much she loves this site for helping her to ID the bugs and now I know why! What a great resource for those of us who can't quite figure it out! So much appreciate your helps! I tried iNaturalist.org but it is way too "clunky" to use.
