We’ve all turned a few houses upside down in our times, at least figuratively speaking, but Polish architects have turned that idea on its head and then back on its feet again to create a new tourist attraction in Terfens, Austria.

Rather than mate through traditional means, Xylocoris flavipes uses its razor-sharp private parts to brutally impregnate females Some insects — like the female praying mantis — are known to devour puny male partners soon after mating. But that seems almost tame compared to the violent copulation techniques employed by Xylocoris flavipes, more commonly known as the warehouse pirate bug.
