Info First live record of gynandromorph Athyma inara inara Westwood, 1850 - Himalayan Colour Sergeant from Buxa Tiger Reserve, West Bengal, India. The sex-related traits of the gynandromorph of A. nefte inara examined in the study, show that all distinguishing characteristics (Forewing (Fw) cell streak, Fw spot beyond cell, Fw and Hw discal band) of the left wing are female (bright orange), while all those of the right wing are male. - created by Atanu Bose Photography - uploaded by Atanu Bose Photography - nominated by Bodhisattwa -- Bodhisattwa (talk) 20:18, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
Support -- Bodhisattwa (talk) 20:18, 10 May 2022 (UTC)- Support Very surprising to see. Is this a functionally hermaphroditic butterfly? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:06, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
Comment, gynandromorphism in butterflies can be due to double fertilization of a binucleate egg, with variety of combinations in the sex chromosomes, leading to both male and female characteristics in the same specimen. Technically, its not termed as hermaphrodite, but yes, their genitalia can have all kinds of combinations like only male, only female, or both male and female. -- Bodhisattwa (talk) 05:49, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
- Comment Oh interesting. There's also this one, which is the VI. That one is slightly sharper, but the white balance is off and it's slightly tilted. Neither is really up to FP standards for butterflies, but if this is indeed the first of its kind, that provides for some "wow" and educational value which may make up for it. Will need to come back to this. — Rhododendrites talk | 21:49, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

Oppose nice colors, but also damaged wings. --Ivar (talk) 05:04, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
- Comment, well, it's a rare find. There is a fairly low chance that another live gynandromorph specimen with an intact wing of the same subspecies can be found again. So, most probably, this specimen is all Wikimedia Commons will have. -- Bodhisattwa (talk) 05:49, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

- Oppose A marvellous find, but a shame not to get enough in focus, especially the head. Charlesjsharp (talk) 15:50, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
