* [[Cottony cushion scale]]s: 'It turns out that females in these hermaphrodite insects are not really fertilizing their eggs themselves, but instead are having this done by a parasitic tissue that infects them at birth,' says Laura Ross of [[Department of Zoology, University of Oxford|Oxford University's Department of Zoology]]. 'It seems that this infectious tissue derives from left-over sperm from their father, who has found a sneaky way of having more children by mating with his daughters.'<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Gardner A, Ross L | title = The evolution of hermaphroditism by an infectious male-derived cell lineage: an inclusive-fitness analysis | journal = The American Naturalist | volume = 178 | issue = 2 | pages = 191–201 | date = August 2011 | pmid = 21750383 | doi = 10.1086/660823 | bibcode = 2011ANat..178..191G | hdl = 10023/5096 | s2cid = 15361433 | url = https://pure.rug.nl/ws/files/67294482/660823.pdf | hdl-access = free }}</ref><ref name="pure.rug.nl 2019">{{cite web | title=The Evolution of Hermaphroditism by an Infectious Male-Derived Cell Lineage | website=pure.rug.nl | date=April 26, 2019 | url=https://pure.rug.nl/ws/files/67294482/660823.pdf | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230422025204/https://pure.rug.nl/ws/files/67294482/660823.pdf | archive-date=April 22, 2023 | url-status=live}}</ref>
* ''[[Adactylidium]]'': The single male offspring mite mates with all the daughters when they are still in the mother. The females, now impregnated, cut holes in their mother's body so that they can emerge. The male emerges as well, but does not look for food or new mates, and dies after a few hours. The females die at the age of 4 days, when their own offspring [[cannibalism (zoology)|eat them alive from the inside]].<ref>{{cite book | first1 = Scott | last1 = Freeman | first2 = Jon C. | last2 = Herran |year=2007 |chapter=Aging and other life history characters | page=484 |title=Evolutionary Analysis |edition=4th  |publisher=[[Pearson Education, Inc]] |isbn=978-0-13-227584-2}}</ref>
