Four new tarantula species with record-breaking long male palps have been discovered, named after Satyrs, and are found in the Arabian Peninsula and Horn of Africa. The males use their large genitals to fend off cannibalistic females during reproduction.
Scientists have discovered four new tarantula species with males possessing record-long genitalia, leading to the creation of a new genus called Satyrex, to better classify these distinct spiders. The males' long palps are believed to help them maintain distance from aggressive females during mating, and the species are found in the Arabian Peninsula and Horn of Africa.
Some male users of Ozempic report an increase in penis size, which they attribute to better blood flow and reduced pubic fat, though experts suggest measurement conditions may influence these reports. The phenomenon, dubbed 'Ozempic penis,' is part of a range of unexpected side effects associated with the drug, including changes in facial appearance.
Scientists searching through archive collections for preserved animals from South America discovered a new species of ghost spider, named Otoniela lupercioi or Lupercioi's ghost spider. These spiders are known for being fast and difficult to see in the wild. The researchers found 20 similar-looking ghost spiders in the archives and identified the new species by its genitalia. Female Lupercioi's ghost spiders have ample external genitalia and a large internal reproductive organ. Several of these spiders were found at a hydroelectric power plant in Brazil, while others were found in Argentina and Paraguay. The researchers also discovered five more new species of ghost spider.
Researchers at the University of Copenhagen have discovered six new beetle species in South America, including one with a sexual organ shaped like a bottle opener, which they named Loncovilius carlsbergi after the Carlsberg Foundation. The researchers emphasize the urgent need to study and protect unknown species before they become extinct, as climate change threatens their habitats. They also highlight the importance of naming and describing species for conservation efforts. The researchers hope that the unique genitalia of Loncovilius carlsbergi will spark interest in insects and raise awareness about the biodiversity crisis.
Scientists have discovered a new species of beetle in South America with male genitalia shaped like a bottle opener, leading to its name, Loncovilius carlsbergi. The researchers plan to manufacture a small bottle-opening keychain based on the beetle's sexual organs. The species is one of six new Loncovilius beetles described in a study funded by the Carlsberg Foundation. These beetles, which live in Chile and Argentina, are unique in their family as they live on flowers instead of the ground. Unfortunately, climate change threatens their population. The researchers hope that by immortalizing the Carlsberg beetle as a bottle opener, they can raise awareness about the crisis facing species on our planet.
The appearance of labia can change over time due to various factors such as hormones, pregnancy, childbirth, aging, and estrogen levels. Labia come in different shapes and sizes, and there is no "perfect" size or shape. While some changes are normal, certain conditions like lichen sclerosus may require medical attention. It's important not to compare oneself to others and to prioritize self-acceptance and understanding of one's own body.
