I named him chicken nugget

Aaaa he’s turning a duller color… I hope he’s alright

So apparently chicken nugget is a spicebush swallowtail and they turn yellow before they pupate. He was making little silk things everywhere Bruh this caterpie is going to evolve to metapod today my boy isn’t messing around

False alarm he moved a bit This guy

I’ve seen yall reblog the unfinished ones SO MUCH that I’m getting pissed, anyway here’s the full chicken nugget saga.

Awesome! Hope you’re happy somewhere, Chicken Nugget!

Incredible

He’s a bilateral gnandromorph!!

WE STAN?????

chicken nugget said intersex rights

This whole post is wonderful, but I think a lot of people don’t realise just how rare bilateral gynandromorphs are. Research has shown that only approximately 1 in 6,000 butterflies is a bilateral gynandromorph! So thanks so much @oddity-txt for sharing this wonderful being with us!

@vocabulary-altering-posts is chicken wing the intersex swallowtail a valid nomination for one hell of a character on this webbed sight

woah why is my corpse (sycamorality) there i still have my blog hello. i never died

Chicken wing is not a bilateral gynandromorph, just underdeveloped and crinkled on one side. Sometimes lepidopterans don’t fully fill up their wings with fluid after emerging and look a little odd.
