gynandromorphism in spiders
a gynandromorph is an organism that exhibits male and female characteristics. bilateral asymmetry can occur wherein one “side” of the animal is female and the other is male, mosaicism can occur wherein the characteristics are distributed in patches. in spiders, this phenomenon can present itself through presence of both testes and overies and split colouration. cases can also occur where, although parts of the spider are clearly male or female, the divisions can be less definite; certain reproductive organs like the palps and epigyne may be very poorly developed or completely absent. these individuals are referred to as intersexes. gynandry and intersexuality can occur in the same individual.

Lots of new acrylic charms and stickers are now in my shop!
House Finch variety. The one with the orange-golden tones has been around for a bit, and I love all the colors on him. The other one I would have thought was a lady, but the blush is confusing.

Shout-out to the little girl at work who started crying when she saw a tarantula not because it was scary but because “it’s so fuzzy and I can’t pet it because there’s glass”.
