Organisms that have a mix of male and female characteristics on each side of their body. They occur in certain insects, birds, and crustaceans due to a genetic anomaly during early development. In perfect bilateral gynandromorphism, the creature's body is divided in a line down the center. One side is male and the other side is female. However, such conditions are exceedingly rare.
flatid planthopper nymph, Singapore. hemipterans (true bugs) like these have mastered the art of covering oneself in weird waxy filaments, which are shed along with their last juvenile molt, revealing a sleek, gossamer-winged adult
want me to doodle a bug for you? by which i mean any invertebrate? simply toss $5 per doodle at my ko-fi and include the type of creature(s) you want drawn in the message. if you request a vertebrate or something way too complicated i will probably just draw a random bug instead
also since it comes up regularly, if you'd like to use any of the above or future bug doodles as a tattoo design, feel free. i won't charge for permission but if you wanna leave a tip at my ko-fi or buy something from my print shop as a token of appreciation that would be extremely cool
