+ bill—maplewood: A moth with male and female characteristics. James Adams, Tiger Swallowtail (Papilio glaucus) gynandromorph. (Via) Although rare, this can happen. The result, in some cases, is an animal that has male characteristics on one side (left or right) and female characteristics on the other side. If the wing patterns are different for the sexes, this leads to an animal rather striking in appearance. A butterfly or moth exhibiting this is called a ‘gynandromorph.’ (Via)
