你可知道 ？

Silverfish have a complicated courtship ritual. The male spins a silken thread and deposits a sperm packet beneath it. When a female walks under the thread and touches it, she picks up the sperm packet with her genital opening. Sperm is released into her reproductive organ and the empty sperm packet is ejected and eaten by her.
