The ABB.. View AttachmentI thought this was rather unique, untill another popped out with the ABB on the opposite hindwing and today another, less extreme specimen emerged. Rich I have yet seen a biparty aberration, one side with a form and another side with the other form like a biparty gynandro with forms that replaces the sex). Absolutely exceptional (unfortunetely I didnt take photo but may be it has been published) it was an Hypolimnas in hand of Jacques Hecq. I believe Adam has memnon females that he has reared which are half one form and half another if I'm not mistaken. Rich |

Rich is correct, but I have only ever seen a single specimen. Here's a photo of the specimen when it had just emerged:  Adam. |

I should add that I have reared very many thousands of Papilio memnon and only ever seen anything like this once.

That's a one in a million ABB Adam, so to get it from many thousands ain't bad, below is my best two, I've had another 3 much less marked than these, including one female with only a tiny white streak and hint of black spot.  I guess my first one is "less unique" ? Sorry Adam, couldn't resist! Rich  |

This year I bred A.paphia. (Last days hatched) I gave about 30 pupae to my friend. Yesterday he sent me a photo of A.paphia which is unique. It is a gynandromorph 1/2 dark-valesina form, 1/2 normal male. But that's not all - it's also aberration !!! Unfortunately, this butterfly is damaged - the right side is distorted. Even so it is a unique specimen !!! I never seen anything like this. Pavel  |
