Gynandromorphs

[Commander]

This chap in the US was lucky enough to spot and photograph a Tiger Swallowtail gynandromorph in his garden. This half-male half-female occurrences are extremely rare in the wild, and are highly sought-after by collectors. At the Penang Butterfly Farm's display area, there are two, featuring a Rajah Brooke's Birdwing and Archduke gynandromorphs. As the male and females of these two species are physically very different, it's always amazing to view them.

However, to have shot a live gynandromorph without killing it must be comparable to golf's hole-in-one for a nature photographer.

Will a gynandromorph mates?

I think the chances to shoot a gynandromorph in the wild is smaller than striking toto...

[Common Mime]

Depends on which prize you are talking about here...

The grand jackpot is equally tiny...

[Sky Blue]

now & then u heard ppl strike toto, how often u heard ppl shoot gynandromorph butt

[Common Mime]

You need to be fair in the frequency those people buy toto and shooting butt though.
