hotdensestate Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Micromalthus debilis, a species of beetle, reproduces in the following way: Sometimes when males aren't available, females reproduce by parthenogenesis, which is basically where they give birth to clones of themselves. But instead of just doing regular old garden-variety parthenogenesis, the females of this species give birth to one male offspring, who then hangs out on his mom's cuticle for four or five days, then he inserts his head into her vagina (all right, all right, beetles don't have vaginas, "genital aperture" is the correct term), crawls in, and eats her from the inside out. source: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1046/j.1439-0469.2002.00183.x/abstract;jsessionid=86963C5EE425735C15D332B329C522D3.d02t02 except you can't really see all of it. But Stephen Jay Gould says it's true so you know it has to be. In his words, "Greater love hath no woman." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyrd Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Why don't the beetles I study do this kind of kinky stuff? They only rape males sometimes, when they can't find females to jump on. Maybe I should publish that in a journal once, but i am afraid that it's not kinky enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotdensestate Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 Tbh nobody can beat Micromalthus debilis at being kinky, I'd just keep my head down and not embarrass myself by publishing anything about any sort of potentially-kinky beetle activity.

pickle Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 That's so cool. :wacko: My one friend told me about a type of jellyfish that "lives forever", because if they aren't eaten or killed, after a long period of time they turn into polyps and then into more jellyfish or something. :thinking: :cheesy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotdensestate Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 Yeah, that's what parthenogenetic aminals usually do. Put the rest of us sexually reproducing fools to shame, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megalomania Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 That is a pretty fun fact. Good to know. :awesome: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pickle Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Yeah, that's what parthenogenetic aminals usually do. Put the rest of us sexually reproducing fools to shame, really. I don't think I'd like being eaten inside-out or turning into polyps, though. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
