Female Penis, Male Vagina, and Their Correlated Evolution in a Cave Insect




Neotrogla curvata, one species of Neotrogla, during copulation. The female’s body is approximately three millimeters long. Unlike general insect mating, the female climbs atop the male to copulate.


The female penis of Neotrogla curvata inserted into the male in a photograph (top) and outline drawing (bottom). The female penis is shown in red.

“...but whether its diet was spores/pollen, leaf/stem tissue or small animals is impossible to say... Current fossil evidence indicates that insect wings originated in the Early Carboniferous period, some 90, 170 and 270 Myr before pterosaurs, birds and bats, respectively...” (p. 629)

The presumed oldest flying insect: more likely a myriapod? 
"The newly observed structures do not support an interpretation as an insect. Instead they make the interpretation as a myriapod more likely, possibly as a centipede. Centipede remains from the Rhynie Chert are known from scutigeromorphs. We therefore point out that R. hirsti could be interpreted as an early centipede." (p. 1)
