In this species the male is green with white lines like above. He also has green hindwings. The female is has green forewings with red/tan patches and red/tan hindwings. At rest the female looks like a patchy green and brown leaf.

Yes, the males and females of the same species are very different ie 'sexually dimorphic'.
