Miscellany
In a behavior known as “transient sexual mimicry,” male giant cuttlefish can assume the behavior and coloring of female cuttlefish in order to bypass larger males and impregnate their desired mates.
There is much difference between imitating a good man, and counterfeiting him.
—Benjamin Franklin, 1738
