The Western glider is depicted in both its under side and upper side views, revealing a striking contrast between the subtle earth tones on one side and the bold markings on the other. Its graceful form seems to glide effortlessly across the page, a true testament to its namesake.
In contrast, the gaudy commodore exudes a sense of regal elegance with its rich orange and black coloration. The intricate patterns on its wings create a mesmerizing display that captivates the viewer's attention and highlights the diversity of butterfly species found in nature.
