Banging in Amber – Science!

If it were the end of the world, like for real for real…what would you do? My half joking answer has always been that I’d just masturbate until I was warmed over by death so that it would be pleasurable. I honestly think that I would just stand still and remember to breath. Breathing is more important that orgasming, no matter what I’ve said in the past.

The animals have these primal instincts to hunt, gather and fuck. It’s all fairly basic. When animals are going to die, what do they usually do? They either try to run away or they fight till the death. Predator or prey, the fight or flight response is completely ingrained into their psyche.

So do animals and insects ever have the notion to fuck when they are about to give up the ghost? Perhaps…A paper written by some Australian scientists titled, “Amber from the Triassic to Paleogene of Australia and New Zealand as exceptional preservation of poorly known terrestrial ecosystems,” may prove just that.

Invigorating title, no?

The scientists recently discovered a piece of amber with two flies having sex trapped inside. Frozen in time, this mating behavior is actually the first of its kind to be discovered in Australia. It may provide some much needed insight into the evolution of this species of insect, as well as others.

Why is this such a big deal? Organisms that are preserved in amber are extremely sought after because they allow the specimens to be studied in 3D. You can see every detail of what was happening at the exact moment that they were trapped. Here’s a picture of the fascinating find:

I mean, is that cool as fuck or what?

Now granted, I’m sure that what actually happened was that the flies met, decided to make babies, started copulating and then flew into liquid amber…but still.

This is the romance that no one was looking for, Peepz.

Bugs trapped in amber are fascinating to me, and the fact that these two horny bastards got stuck together for millions of years doing the deed? I mean, if I’m gonna go down, I’m gonna go down fighting. These two are nothing but goals.
