How do I override an error in the length of my axes in R?

Question

I am using this code to make a scatter plot with data organized by species:

(dput([winglength v weight melitaeini sex use.csv][1]))
plot(chlosyne.janis$total.weight..mg.[chlosyne.janis$sex == "female"], 
     chlosyne.janis$forewing.length..mm.[chlosyne.janis$sex == "female"], 
     col = "red", 
     pch = 16, 
     xlim = c(0, 30), 
     ylim = c(0, 30), 
     xlab = "weight (mg)", 
     ylab = "forewing length (mm)", 
     main = "Reltaionship of weight to forewing length in the genus Chlosyne")
points(chlosyne.janis$total.weight..mg.[chlosyne.janis$sex == "male"],
       chlosyne.janis$forewing.length..mm.[chlosyne.janis$sex == "male"],
       col = "red", 
       pch = 17) 
points(chlosyne.erodyle$total.weight..mg.[chlosyne.erodyle$sex == "female"],
       chlosyne.erodyle$forewing.length..mm.[chlosyne.erodyle$sex == "female"],
       col = "red", 
       pch = 16) 
points(chlosyne.hippochrome$total.weight..mg.[chlosyne.hippochrome$sex == "male"],
       chlosyne.hippochrome$forewing.length..mm.[chlosyne.hippochrome$sex == "male"],
       col = "red", 
       pch = 17) 
points(c.acastus.neumoegenio$total.weight..mg.[c.acastus.neumoegenio$sex == "male"],
       c.acastus.neumoegenio$forewing.length..mm.[c.acastus.neumoegenio$sex == "male"],
       col = "red", 
       pch = 17) `

but the result is this error:

Error in xy.coords(x, y, xlabel, ylabel, log) : 'x' and 'y' lengths differ

Both the x and y variables are numeric, and I have set both axis limits xlim and ylim to c(0, 30), so that both axes have the same length.

The plot will not run even if I do not run the rest of the points.

I have tried changing and even unsetting xlim and ylim, but the error remains. How should I change the code to generate the scatter plot without errors?

where exactly does the error occur? Does the first plot work? If you provide the data you are more likely to receive helpul assistance. (`dput(mydata)`) — dandrews, Mar 23 '23 at 16:39
It's easier to help you if you include a simple [reproducible example](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5963269/how-to-make-a-great-r-reproducible-example) with sample input that can be used to test and verify possible solutions. — MrFlick, Mar 23 '23 at 16:39
