This unusual specimen was found in Drexel University's butterfly exhibit. The wings on one side are female, while the ones on the other side are male. Beautiful.

I don't find it beautiful. I guess I like symmetry.

That cardinal looks seriously pissed off. But I guess that's understandable given the circumstances.

A butterfly after my own heart when my wife tells me to go "F" myself.

The nerve of this freak, acting as though anything with aspects of more than one gender could be beautiful! I blame Obama.
