It’s a girl!
I can tell from their bottom wings whether they are male or female. Males have pretty obvious black dots on one portion of their wings that contain the hormones that help them attract mates, and females do not. This one has no dots.
She was still dripping fluid and not quite ready to fly off. I placed her on a flower in my garden where she can have a sip of nectar and dry her wings for as long as she wants until she’s ready to take off in flight. 🙂
