RE: Some embarrassing old pictures...

I am an asexually reproducing member of my species. The asexual caste has two main reproductive strategies. If we are really happy we can swell up to double our normal size and then we will split into two new (genetically identical / clones) individuals, similarly to your earth cells' process of mitosis. The second mode is when we are particularly stressed out / frightened, we secrete a liquid from pores across our body which contains male and female sexual cells (the equivalent to earth sperm and eggs). These cells mature very quickly and obtain all the energy they need from the liquid medium that transports them. This sexed generation resembles a mobile broccoli florette, matures very quickly and reproduces to form a new asexual generation within a matter of hours.
