Gynandromorph
(Redirected from Gyandromorph)
A gynandromorph is an organism that contains both male and female characteristics. The term gynandromorph is mainly used in the field of Lepidopterology (butterfly/moth study) or entomology (all insects). These characteristics can be seen in butterflies, where both male and female characteristics can be seen physically.
In his autobiography, Speak, Memory, the writer and lepidopterist Vladimir Nabokov describes a beautiful gynandromorph butterfly, male on one side, female on the other, that he caught as a youth on his family's Russian estate.
