Catocala agrippina, both bilateral aberrant and bilateral gynandromorph. I recently posted this image in a Catocala thread.  |

This Antheraea polyphemus was reared by me from a now non-existent strain a few years ago.  |

Greetings, Mothman27 - I saw a specimen similar to this in the collection at work and wondered something. Is this a gynandromorph with yellow from a male appearing with the dark form of a female, or is it an incomplete normal/dark form mix of a female alone? I assume the genitalia would be the clincher - as I understand how a gynandromorph is expressed, in a dark/light mix of a female, the genitalia would be normal, but in a gynandromorph, the genitalia would be mutated. I can't tell much from the image, although the terminal segment of the abdomen does look asymmetrical, unless that is a yellow splotch. Just curious! Bandrow |

rayrard, not really an aberration, just malformed (birth defect). This happens often.
I take it that this is Tetracis crocallata

mothman27 cleaned up your image a bit, eliminating some clutter, but lost the antennae.  |
