Check it out here:
This link gets you to the Bug Guide Info page: http://bugguide.net/node/view/3553

Once there, use the Images tab to see how others have shot your subject. Also, you can determine the sex of your b'fly by comparing it with these images.

The Data tab will show when and where the images were captured.

Content on Info pages varies. Some are sparse, while others have a ton of valuable facts about your specimen and what makes it unique.
