It occurs in many species with two identical halves, such as birds and butterflies. Bi-coloration, like what Bowie has, he said, occurs in about one out of every 50 million lobsters. The phenomenon of two sexes, Ascher said, comes from a mutation that likely occurred when the lobster was in an embryonic state.
