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

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.
