Identification

Male tends to have the red marks confined to the body and the wing bases, whereas females are generally orange-red all over [per comment from Andy Hamilton].

G. gladia is typically more uniformly red-orange than in G. octolineata, which has the red typically confined to the wing veins (sometimes) and the thorax. However, the only way for a definitive ID is through analyses of male genitalia as variation does occur in color and wing reticulation among gladia and octolineata. Therefore, the individuals on this page are grouped based on general characteristics, and some individuals on G. gladia may pertain to dark, boldly red individuals of G. octolineata. [K. Kittelberger]

Food

Pines.
