According to the daily mail of October 25, recently, the staff of butterfly world, an insect research organization in St. Albans, Hertfordshire, UK, discovered a rare species, the Papilio butterfly, which is half female and half male with unusual body color.
The abdomen of this butterfly is the dividing point. The left and right wings have different patterns and colors. Female Papilio with yellow wings and small pink spots on the leading edge. Unlike females, males have dark wings.
Lepidopteran entomologists say that the butterfly metamorphoses into a half female and half male because of its abnormal sex chromosome division during early development. Moreover, due to organ damage, the butterfly is infertile and dies earlier than normal. The chance of a butterfly becoming hermaphrodite is one in ten thousand.
