- Btw, my gorgeous cover star is a gynandromorph gypsy moth, female on its left side, male on the right. It was caught in Berlin in July 1864 and pictured by German entomologist Ernst Ludwig Taschenberg in 1877. It makes more than one appearance in my book! #booksky #histsci #sts #queerhistory 🦋🌈📚🗃️Feb 3, 2026 10:06
- I've seen gynandromorphs before, but don't recall seeing such a size difference before. I have visions of the poor thing flying in circles!
