Infrapink (he/his/him)TIL about Adactylidium.
Females gestate a clutch of eight females and one son. Inside the womb, the one male mates with all his sisters, and then they're all pregnant, they eat their way out of their, who obviously dies. The males have no survival instinct and, if they are still alive, just sit around until they die. The females are born pregnant and face the same fate as their mother.
