MemberImagine if bees or hornets really did have penises instead of stingers irl. That would probably be one of the weirdest yet disturbing things ever in the insect kingdom.
Good thing we have internet lewds to just give the possibly. I think we would all be afraid of little stinging insects if this was true '>>

They do. Male bee's typically don't have 'stingers' they have a defensive spike that has no venom to it. And they really do have dicks they're just y'know. Internal.

Memberof all the things to get an high-res update, this is the last thing I expected to see.

MemberThey're sizable, but unfortunate. Much like how the worker bees can only sting (humans) once, a drone can only "sting" a queen once.
Might think it's a Mantis or Black Widow scenario, but no. Rather, it's due to their climax being so intense, their testicles explode.

MemberA lot of male insects only get one chance to mate in any case, so evolution has set them up to make the most of it. On the bright side, it probably doesn't hurt.

Memberya no bug has pain receptors, if anything most move on like nothing happened usally, but male drones have a timer as well so if they dont die from a quick fick they die from living to long. aka to the end of breeding session, oh and they dont care about anything but fucking. they dont feed them selves of sleep. they live to just fuck than die.
