Do Ladybirds have willies? (Lighthearted)

Having just pegged my washing out, ladybirds came swarming all over it. Each item of clothing had 3-6 ladybirds on. It made me think about washing being left out overnight and the horror that spider might ‘wipe their willies’ all over it!
YABU -Will my washing be safe
YBNBU -Will I have to re-wash it?!

I'm not sure.

Barnacles are renowned for the length of theirs though, if that's any help?

Thanks. I now have "Do barnacles have long penises" on my Google search history.

Initially I thought your washing would be absolutely fine, but having seen the detailed genitals diagram I have changed my mind.

You should double bag your laundry and take it immediately to your local tip where it can be disposed of safely.

They do, even ants do.

most insects have a “lock and key” type genitals so they can’t accidentally mate with a different type of insect. So a male ladybird penis will only fit into a female ladybird. And an ant couldn’t have sex with a ladybird.

I would think that the name 'ladybird' would mean that they don't, but then maybe the 'trans thing' has now been picked up by the insect world...🤔

Hmm, I hadn’t thought of that, but how do ladybirds have baby ladybirds if some of them aren’t men!
