A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Bed bugs use a process called traumatic insemination to reproduce. The male breaks the female’s shell to inject sperm into a cavity called the hemocoel. It travels around the bed bug’s ‘bloodstream’ to the ovaries and fertilizes the eggs. The female will then leave to find another harborage and lay eggs for 6-8 weeks after mating just once.
For those who don't know.
Meanwhile, mantises:

I dont get it
Males stab the females with their genetalia (literally stab as there is no opening) and ejaculate into the cavity. Then hopefully it gets carried through the blood stream and ends with successful insemination.
From what I know there is an opening. The males simply don’t use it.
TIL
true chads ignore the open door and walk through the wall, leaving a perfect body-shaped hole.
It's a violent process
