quote [ Unlike male spiders and scorpions, which use modified legs to transfer sperm to females in tidy packets, most harvestmen like H. grimaldii have honest-to-goodness penises, which they insert into genital openings next to the females' mouthparts. ]
Its always fascinating to me what parts of nature have penises and what parts do not. Most birds for example, do not; although the duck's dick more than makes up for it.
