I am a Handsome Meadow Katydid
I'm considered a poikilotherm
My song changes with the temperature
And you don't want to know what I do with sperm*.

* But if you do want to know, go to the "Courtship, Mating, and Life Cycle" section of this page, there are even photos!

    I agree! Although I must admit, I'm more of a wine and chocolates kinda girl myself!
