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.
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.
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!
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. ❤
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!!
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!
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.😂
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❤️🙌
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.
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
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 😂
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.
I had a friend that was cross breeding 2 moth species, one of the young was a bilateral gynandromorph. It was half male of one species, half female of the other. So this would also make it a chimera. He pinned it and sold it for $3,000.
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)!
Okay so 2 questions; One since you have every butterfly do you have a small light purple butterfly with some spotting on the wing? I saw this butterfly while hiking one day and no one seems to be able to tell me what it was. Second question, have you seen the news article about a dimorphic cardinal being spotted? I knew an ornithologist and he got quite a kick from it.
I doubt he has every butterfly, I feel like that’s be impossible. The description of the butterfly is kind of vague, but maybe it’s a species of lycaenid?
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.
This reminds me of our entomology practical where we had to submit atleast 30 insects, mounted but we couldn't find all in time and submitted about 6-7 still living but pinned _Pieris brassicae_ 😬

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

I love the one at 0:27 , the lines on the wings look like closed eyes!
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.

Do you know if the opposite exist? A hermaphrodite species like snails, that can be born fully male or female?

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?
Amazing. I appreciate your enthusiasm and your simple explanation.

Seeing that butterfly be a real rarity is amazing!! ❤️❤️❤️
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
There's actually a bilateral example of cardinals like this too in nature!! There's cardinals half red half brown.

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…

I love moths and butterflies. This is extremely shocking to find a male / female mixed.
I appreciate the education
It's nice how he introduces us to his collection , it's like he's open for robbers XD
This is gorgeous
You make me wanna collect stuff like this
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
i love your videos so much lmao dudes so goofy, keep up the great content😎
I hate the fact that they killed all those poor birds just for a science purpose still I love your channel

I always love RUclipsrs that assume that “If it isn’t on RUclips, it doesn’t exist.” What a tool.
the second i saw those different colored wings i knew what it was. so interesting!
Bro, this is the reason I'm taking Biology. I felt your excitement.
Reminds me of the Texas A&M insect rooms
Why is that so cool? 😄🤩
(And why did I forget to subscribe to your channel here since I’ve subscribed at insta 🤦♂️)
Love hearing about mutations
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
This was probably the most interesting video I've watched in a while
Great shiny you found there!
Wowwwww. Thank you for showing us; this is so cool.
first line
"Iaght check out these cabinets. We got 5 on the top, 5 on the bottom."
but there are six on both the top and bottom...
Is there anymore
Half male half female (I've already forgotten the scientific name)
Animals in the collection?
Hermaphrodites?
Bilateral Gynandromorph
Bilateral
We stan an intersex butterfly
8:20 the way it opens back up lmao.
Mind blowing 🤯
Nature really said "50/50" lol

Good to know he failed math in the first second
There's cardinals and parakeets like this.
How about the Brenton Blue?
That's awesome but does this happened in other spicies of butterfly as well
THISS IS ACTUALLY SO COOL WHATT
How do I follow the career path you’re in? What kind of education would I need? What should I major in? This seems like such a fulfilling career!
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!
Your gloves are cool
0:01 5 ? are you sure about that?
I knew everything mentioned in this video. the moment he said the rarest butterfly in the collection I immediately screamed gynandromorphism
This reminds me of our entomology practical where we had to submit atleast 30 insects, mounted but we couldn't find all in time and submitted about 6-7 still living but pinned _Pieris brassicae_ 😬
Now that right there is an exotic butter
I just learned something about butterflies I never knew about this was a cool lesson
In the beginning he said there were five, there were six.
Your eyes are so beautiful 😯
you should see a tarantula with bilateral gynandromorphism.
Surprised you don’t have a half male and female cardinal. I’ve seen multiple IRL, seems it’s oddly common.
me: that's sick
him: how sick is that?
I have a butterfly game called "Flutter" and I have your favorite😁 purple spotted swallowtail fully upgraded😁
Made my day!
can u do a list of all the rarest in your collection?...
Argynnis paphia bilateral gynandromorph is even more Fun. :P
Now I know what a cardinal is
Do you have a Callipogon relictus specimen? If you have, please make a video of it. I would love to see it,plz!!!!
Woah intersex butterfly
I wish I had a teacher like u 😭😭😭
What an incredible video thanks for the great content
Now my brain is stuffed with biology, i cant remember my password now
Wow awesome
If you have all of the butterflies in there, what just flew past? I'm scared.
Yeah... I'm in for the Homo sapien cabinet... 😁😁😁
it's a dam shame that a person saw this rare butterfly and killed it
