    Abstract

    Here we report a new case of gynandromorph moth in the fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda. According to the morphology, the gynandromorph moth belongs to bilateral-gynandromorph due to exhibited morphs of female and male on both sides. In addition, the moth has deformed genitalia in both the female and male.
