“Virgin lizard proud mum and dad”
UPDATE: They have now changed the headline to: “Virgin lizard becomes new parent”. A wise decision.

Another weird fact from the world of Biology:
Aphids can be pregnant with pregnant embryos! It’s true – when food supplies are plentiful, a female aphid can have almost exclusively female offspring, and these offspring can themselves be pregnant when they are born.
This helps the aphids take advantage of periods of food plenty to reproduce and take advantage of these resources before other species do.
Wow! That is a weird fact. Aphids are freeeeaky. Thanks for sharing.
