In April 2004, James Adams found an unusual tiger swallowtail butterfly. One side was nearly black, with signature blue and orange markings on the lower wing. The insect's other wing, however, sported a bright yellow. For a collector of butterflies and moths it was a rare find: a gynandromorph, a dual-sex creature.
