> [@Musicat](#): > > If they did, it would be death for the drone, and the Queen might have a hard time eating afterwards. The drone’s penis (endophallus) has barbs that prevent it from withdrawing. One thrust, they are stuck. As they try to pull out, the penis separates from their body and they die. The penis remains attached and the sperm inside the queen for the rest of her life. She can control the release of sperm at will until it runs out, months or years later. > > One strike and you’re out. “Hey, Baby, love those gossamer wings…Wanna kill me?” Wait a minute … you mean if I get stung by a bee, it’s actually trying to fuck me?? ---

Some females have even evolved false vaginas so at least the rapists don’t get to pass on their genes. And yes, this is really true, if slightly edited for brevity. It was pretty traumatizing for me. Can’t imagine how the female duck felt. I didn’t know what to do, I mean turning a hose on them (as you would dogs) is kind of pointless. ---
