bisexual butterfly


the mimetic butterfly Papilio Memnon, aka The Great Mormon, is known for having a variation of characteristics. there is only one male form but the female comes in many forms, even having male characteristics. a "bisexual" one was bred recently. it probably resembles this one, which is an aberrant male cuz it has the white and red spots only known to be on females. it also looks like it has a bigger abdomen, another trait for females.
