    The title and image of the article are definitely clickbait. It’s like saying “women are evolving penises”, but the article is about goddamn flies.

    Here’s what they look like

      Good grief! You can’t just go posting that sort of thing in public, at least tag it NSFW.

      Now please excuse me while I go and clutch my pearls in horror.

    The site looks artificially sloppy and a clone of https://bioengineer.org/female-penis-evolution/

    The paper is over a decade old.

    …further emphasizing the critical role of seminal gifts in their reproductive strategy.

    There is a joke that can be made from this for sure.

    Well that was quite the read.

    Essentially, these female cave flies are a real life succubus.

    I’m too sleepy for this. So, the females using penis-like structure to penetrate males and basically suck sperm out of them? Also, nice clickbait.
