A photograph of a gynandromorph of the Rosy Gypsy Moth(Lymantria mathura). Gynandromorphs arise from a genetic error in the chromosomes of the animal. This error results in the organism possessing characteristics of both sexes. Recently, a gynandromorph moth emerged at the Natural History Museum. One side of the moth had the appearance of a male, the other side had the appearance of a female.

Gray with an inscription that reads, “VICTIM OF THE BEAST 666.” Many people have attempted to research this stone and Lilly, but strangely always hit a brick wall, as there is no information aside from her obituary, which states only that she died of natural causes, survived by her husband Elmer L. Gray.
