The paper has been actively featured or discussed in huge numbers of newspapers, TV stations, online news sites, blogs, and Twitter because discovery of a "female penis" itself has great impact for the public. The Neotrogla female penis is also ranked as the third strangest genital organ ever discovered (Braun 2014). As mentioned above, the penis is, by definition, the male copulatory organ and is widely believed to define males. Therefore, many lay audiences were confused about the definition of Neotrogla sexes, although sexes are actually defined by their gamete size, not by external genital features. Extremely long duration of copulation controlled by female Neotroglaseems to be of interest for many people. Our findings completely reverse our general ideas about the roles of sexes and thus it attracted a lot of public interest. Of course the discovery attracted attention from the scientific point of view as well because these insects give us new possibilities to test some theories of sexual selection, one of the most active fields of evolutionary biology.
