Gyandromorphic butterflies
A rare condition where an animal can not only be intersexed, but in the case of bilateral gyandromorphs, the male and female coloration and build is limited to one half of the creature.
- This morpho (Morpho ?) has a good amount of male on the female wing, making him a mosaic-type gyandromorph
- Another mosaic, this birdwing (Ornithoptera ?) almost passes for a bilateral.
- Since common glider (cymothoe caenis) males do tend to have different amounts of white, I can’t tell if this individual is mosaic or not
- Leopard lacewing (Cethosia cyane) true bilateral gyandromorph
- Mocker swallowtail (Papilio dardanus)
- Another mocker swallowtail, although it’s halves are of two different morphs!
