Traumatic insemination 🤮

This is a censored version. There was actually an impolite intersection uttered suggesting that something occur “sideways,” from which a troubling tradition has merged: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traumatic_insemination?wpro…

It’s such a creepy biological characteristic. Bedbugs are mildly social, and prefer to sleep near other bedbugs. But the traumatic insemination seems to be unpleasant for the females, and after enough holes are poked all over their bodies, they will leave the main colony. A single inseminated female hitchhiker is normally how they infest new places.

More importantly it knows what doesn’t work. We just don’t see the results of that too much.
