      <![CDATA[As an Entomology grad student I can tell you so many wonderful things about the crazy sex lives of insects.  I'm sure you all know about the practice of 'traumatic insemination' practiced by a select few species of insect -most notably the bed bug- however, did you know that a species of bed bug found in parts of Africa one up's this and engages in male-male traumatic insemination in an effort to replace the sperm of Bed Bug 1 with that of Bed Bug 2.<br />
<br />
And yes, females of many species of arthropods (spiders, mantids, etc) will complete their sexual escapades by consuming the male post coitus, however this typically only happens if she is in need of food at the time.  So, it does not happen every time you see a pair mating, but it definitely happens often enough.<br />
<br />
Okay, one more...Only female mosquitoes drink blood.

I thought this was the future of the human race, at least to the paranoid right?
