i noticed the butterfly was asymmetric, but as soon as you mentioned northern cardinals i knew exactly why it was so special. This is incredibly cool and im not surprised in the slightest that theres only one specimen like it.
my uncle also had a buttefly or moth that was half male half female. Back when i was a child i can remember him showing me and saying several museums wanted the specien for their collection. we have no idea what happened to the butterfly or moth as when he passed away no one could remember what species it was and when his collection was examined it couldnt be identified. It might even be in one of the displays that are still in the family.
Your absolutely right, a half male half female butterfly. And bro wasn't lying when he says he has all living animals, didn't know they have human bones as well.
Now I understand! When I was younger I saw a swallowtail butterfly with one yellow wing and the other was black. It looked awesome! But I had no idea it was half male, half female. Incredible.
I knew all about the difference between male and female monarch butterflies because my passion for the last 5 years has been gathering eggs from my milkweed and raising and releasing monarch butterflies.. I know this isn’t a video talking about the monarchs but even you releasing this video is educating people about butterflies. Thank you.
Well, it’s not really free. Every way posible to find this video and watch it means you are alive. To maintain being alive and active in society means paying for stuff. So basically this is just a bonus for your services and if you are a kid for your guardians services lol. But it is really cool to find awesome people like him that lives and serves knowledge. He is abundant. ❤
I couldn't help but also notice that the frontal female side wing has that cluster of spots in a black splotch on the tip, while the male side doesn't. Man this stuff is hella cool.
If my school lessons had been structured like this, I would've paid a lot more attention in school. I don't even know anything about butterflies other than they are bugs with wings, but I still ended up watching this video!
6:46 it's super easy to see! the outer wing tips for both top and bottom pairs, not just the bottom pair. so both the top left and bottom left are female and top right and bottom right are male. so it's split laterally lol. very interesting!
The comment about the monarch butterflies was so interesting and cool! I live in Hawaii and there's tons of monarch butterflies everywhere. As long as I can remember, I've never known how to spot the difference in either sex. Anyone can find them fairly easily, as a lot of the schools here, have those specific plants that they often frequent. I'm not sure of the plant's name, but it has a very short and thick lillac flower, and the leaves have milky sap. Next time I see them, I'll be able to tell the difference 😇
That is known as a Gynandromorph! When an animal is split down the middle and exhibits a half male and half female characteristics! It affects a lot of arthropods (not just insects cause there are some spiders who have it, crustaceans too, anything that falls under the arthropod famoly pretty much), and even birds (funnily enough, cardinals have been spotted to exhibit this too). I think it only affects like very certain animals that lay eggs, I cant remember the exact reason but loosely it had to do with something like the chromosones or the amount of multiplied cells from mitosis or something and that certain species have less of those which can cause genetical problems along the way if something in there messes up (I forget what exactly too). Its very muddled, the reasoning, so I forgett and may be completely wrong I had a suspicion the butterfly was rare because of this, very cool to see its been preserved!!
The gynadromorph would actually be ZW (female) and ZZ (male). Lepidopterans are ZW sex chromosome system where females are the heterogametic sex not XY where males are the heterogametic.
We only discovered snakes are XX/XY through convergent evolution just a few years ago, with only two sex chromosomes, thanks to research into the sex chromosome dependent "banana" morph gene
This is one if the channels that really deserves to be known.. That's the type of knowledge i really wanted to have.. And i enjoyed it so much and i really wish for infinite videos from that type.. And i highly appreciate you bro for making such videos... Keep it up❤️🙌
One of my favorite butterfly moments in my life is when a Red Admiral fluttered around my head and landed on my hand. It was probably looking for sweat to drink, lol.😂
Did you know that lepidoptera (the order of butterflies and moths) roughly translates to "scaly winged" where lepido is latin for scale and ptera the used suffix for winged animals
Whenever I go for my walks in the countryside I always look for butterflies (live ones of course), but it is very rarely that I see any now. This is in UK so wonder if they are seen much in other countries. It is such a pity as I love them! ❤
To imagine, he just hit 10K subs on this video. Congrats on the success. Now I can impress someone with quick monarch butterfly knowledge right in time for Monarch season to hit the Central Coast.
When you pointed to it after showing us male and female I immediately noticed it was half and half wtf 😂 that's so cool! I thought it was gonna be something like it doesn't show any patters to show if it was a male or female 😂
I love how he explained the warning why he was about to open the bird cabinet even though we're watching this video to know about this type of things and we know it's going to be about this. I have no idea how people still get offended about stuff like this
I remember on a r/askreddit ttv video about a year ago (so please take this with a grain of salt). The topic was something like "Doctors of reddit, what was the rarest disease or mutation you ever saw?" Well someone said they delivered a true hermaphrodite. Extra wide hips that not only housed female and male genitalia but were fully developed and presumably functional. They were literally male on one side and female on the other just like this one of a kind butterfly.
As always I get fascinated by your collection, Although I would like to specify that in butterflies, chromosomes that are responsible for sex déterminisme are call Z and W, ZZ for males and ZW for females, I am almost sure you already know it, but I could not let it go without correcting it
I like the fact that he ran all around trying to find examples of sexually dimorphic creatures and all he had to do was turn the camera around lol love this video though
@ferret to be fair we kinda ‘created’ it with gendered clothing (which is stupid IMO) by making males and females have a ‘traditional’ style. Not tryna make it political I just thought I’d point that out
@@edgytoucan3444 Not really -- it's more talking about face shape, average height, voice pitch, muscle shape, and skeletal structure. Obviously people eccentuated those differences with the sterotypical male and female clothing styles, but sexual dimorphism relates more to the physical differences instead of behaviours.
@@enigmaarcs8559 There's actually more than XX and XY, at rates more common than this butterfly, lol. Additionally, humans usually categorize sex by appearance of secondary sex characteristics and external genetalia (if known), regardless of internal sexual organs or chromosomes.
@@dragonshadow4145 you are correct but most people have xx and xy this is similar to say some people have one eye so we should make glasses with one lens
A really cool observation I found is that one of the forms of the Hindu God Lord Shiva called Ardhanarishvara (meaning "the half female lord" in Sanskrit) is a manifestation of the god being half man and half woman, split right along the centre. I can't help but think that this means that the concept of bilateral gynandromorphism was known back then, with the earliest recordings of this deity coming from the Kushan era (30-375 CE)!
have you seen the swallowtail that is half and half but its even more rare because the males side is also a different species. I believe one side is spicebush and the other is another I can't remember but it likes like 1 in 100 million chances it may be even higher than that.
Worked with Alfafa Leaf Cutting bees for my masters. Id find 2 or 3 a year out of 100,000+ bees. Im sure the odds are diffrent but it was fun to see them non the less.
Hi I’m a new fan of the channel, I have to ask…what does the work areas where the species are smell like? How are they not decaying if they’re not in glass or fluid?
Huh, I just watched a short from a lobster fisherman in Maine who caught a lobster exhibiting those traits. Male dymorphic traits on half the tail, female on the other. Called it cool, then threw it back. Didn't know just how rare that was.

I love how darn excited you are about everything! You’re so passionate and so happy and excited to teach. And I’m SO glad I just found this channel.
263 likesandnocomments ima change that
how the heck you cant be excited about it O.o that's so damn cool
the fact i know most of those butterflies from Animal Crossing is either impressive or embarrassing 😭
It can be both 😅
OMG YES😭😭
I can relate but with clothes
Fun is a more effective teacher than forced memorization
SAME

This is an excellent premise for a book tbh
@@maddieb.4282 This would not be a good book literally at all......
it's inside a seat of toilet
@@shubalasko its in a what
It’s called gynandromorphia and it’s indeed pretty rare!
My mind was absolutely blown. Nature never ceases to amaze me
Your absolutely right, a half male half female butterfly. And bro wasn't lying when he says he has all living animals, didn't know they have human bones as well.

you're explanation is so much better than my biology teacher. i love ur vid so much. hope u can make more.
I very much enjoyed the sequence of you explaining how it all connected. Add that to your enthusiasm when talking about it makes the video so good!
Yes, he has a lot of member vids, but he really does has A LOT if free also. I LOVE THIS GUYS content!

I believe those plants are called milkweed! Very pretty.
I remember seeing a photo of a cardinal with both male and female sides, cool to finally know what that’s called!
Thank you so much TH-cam for recommending this channel.. as a Science teacher this really helps me a lot.
Yes please do the homo sapiens cabinet
That’s humans which is funny but i to want to see

Do you know if the opposite exist? A hermaphrodite species like snails, that can be born fully male or female?
Amazing. I appreciate your enthusiasm and your simple explanation.
The gynadromorph would actually be ZW (female) and ZZ (male). Lepidopterans are ZW sex chromosome system where females are the heterogametic sex not XY where males are the heterogametic.

Seeing that butterfly be a real rarity is amazing!! ❤️❤️❤️
I saw a cardinal like this once!!! It was wild
I actually just saw a video of a fisherman that caught a lobster that was a gynandromorph. It even had eggs on one side only. Pretty cool
Did they get a breeding notch?
I knew everything mentioned in this video. the moment he said the rarest butterfly in the collection I immediately screamed gynandromorphism
We work with human femurs (and the rest of the human too, lol) quite often in lab here, so I would be very interested in the questionable femur.
i would be so interested too

There's actually a bilateral example of cardinals like this too in nature!! There's cardinals half red half brown.

You are about as like-able as it gets. Nice work dude!
I had a fear of butterflies when I was younger, now that I've learnt this, I want to go to a butterfly zoo sooner or later
Great video!
Intersex butterfly
The fact that I learned more from this channel in a week than I did from my science class in a whole school year is just… hm…
This is gorgeous
God, I love this channel!
Cool! Loved it😊
I appreciate the education
Ur explanation is better than my biology teacher 😭😭
I had a gynandromorph worker from Iridomyrmex purpureus, cool stuff. I also had a speciment of a possibly undescribed species of Protanilla.
I'm a big garden nerd. I love this!!
I love moths and butterflies. This is extremely shocking to find a male / female mixed.
i love your videos so much lmao dudes so goofy, keep up the great content😎
This is soo cool!!❤
You make me wanna collect stuff like this
Great shiny you found there!
Wowwwww. Thank you for showing us; this is so cool.
The rarest and coolest butterfly I’ve gotten to see and hold was a bilateral gynandromorph Papilio Rumanzovia.
i feel lucky to be able to watch this video also find this channel
the second i saw those different colored wings i knew what it was. so interesting!
I don't know why I become very exited to see butterflies...
It attracts me 😳🦋✨
please do not fuck butterflies
please do not the butterfly
It's nice how he introduces us to his collection , it's like he's open for robbers XD
I keep watching this channel hoping one of these days he's gonna open one of these cabinets and find an angry raccoon.
Bro, this is the reason I'm taking Biology. I felt your excitement.
Mind blowing 🤯

The upper right wing also has a line of orange dots, while the opposite wing has a king of white dots!
Why is that so cool? 😄🤩

This was probably the most interesting video I've watched in a while
Love hearing about mutations

Wow awesome
Made my day!
Your gloves are cool
I have a butterfly game called "Flutter" and I have your favorite😁 purple spotted swallowtail fully upgraded😁
What an incredible video thanks for the great content
Oooh open the cabinet!!

that bilateral gynandromorphic butterfly is so important for future science
It seems the spots carry uup the side of the wing. The white isn't just at the bottom, but is also at the top. Interesting.
I love every type of animal becides like ants and white moths so I don't like seeing dead animals but it's still intresting!
