Male and female
The one on the right is the male with the wings all amber or orange or whatever the color should be called.

Note for future reference the site prefers that linked images be of the same individual.

My apologies!
Thank you for confirming which is male & which is female. Very sorry for not remembering the rule abt linking only same specimen. Won't happen again!
