After one month my first daughters will be born, and all of them will be females! Each one of them comes from an egg fertilized with sperm kept in my sperm bank, a kind of long term reservoir of genetic material which I received from the males during the nuptial flight.

The poor fellows only have half my genes, making them useful for two things: eating and mating.
