Two small bags of metal RF (“aerial”) connectors on a worktop surface.

One set is gold, the other silver in colour. They otherwise appear identical.
An opposing pair are connected together.

An example of #SexualDimorphism in ‘tech’.

-I made the conscious choice to select different colours for the genders, as it’s practical for my use-case.

Right: UV coloration, which is invisible to the human eye, is used as a male courtship signal in orange sulphur butterflies, shown here in magenta. Butterfly wings consist of two layers of microscopic scales, and in UV-iridescent butterflies, the upper layer harbors unique optical properties. These scales reflect ultraviolet thanks to complex layers of chitin on their surfaces, a nanostructure that resembles Christmas trees and is absent from non-UV scales.

Two ducks on water. Further behind and slightly out of focus, the female is brown, with spotted white and brown breast. In contrast, the male, towards the front, is extremely colourful, with shades of bright orange, greens, blues, browns, black and white (also with black and white stripes), and two 'sails' at its flanks.
