(source: Sherwood & Hatchard, 2026. A case of gynandry and intersexuality in Phidippus regius C. L. Koch, 1846 (Araneae: Salticidae))

Sherwood and Hatchard describe the life history of a bilaterally gynandromorphic regal jumper in fascinating detail here, including some behavioral trials -- though near-perfectly split into male and female halves, overall this captive-bred regal exhibited more male-typical behaviors, though without much interest in courtship, and lived a two-year lifespan more expected from a female.
