A new species of spider was recently discovered near a forested area in Nong Rong, Phanom Thuan, Kanchanaburi, in western Thailand. The spiders were presented to researchers at the Chulalongkorn University Museum of Natural History, where they were studied further.

Gynandromorphs are rare organisms that are half-male and half-female, where each side of the body presents differently, split right down the middle. Gynandromorphs are distinct from hermaphrodites in that hermaphrodite organisms still have bilateral symmetry and naturally have both sex organs. Hermaphroditism is common in some organisms, while gynandromorphism is much rarer.

      I dont like to reinforce stereotypes but the pattern detecting part of my brain does notice a big one in this post title.

      Does that help?

        Are there a lot of spiders intersex people in Thailand?

        I feel like I’ve heard of a trans sex worker stereotype related to there, but that’s the closest I can think of.
