SYLVIE AND THE CATCHER BREEDER
Like all other successful and dominant Dring, Dring Hai maintained a host of Catcher-Breeder insects, for use in controlling his own herds of breeder pods, for occasional breeding raids into the territory of other Dring, and, he had to admit, for recreational purposes. He took enjoyment in the thrill of the chase when he released Catcher-Breeders, monitoring their activities by a variety of widely dispersed sensing tendrils.
Deciding that the new breeder pods, like any mammal, required periodic exercise, Dring Hai decided to combine required maintenance with pleasure, and arranged for one of his most physically well-developed new breeder pods to escape its breeding pen.
The ovipositor of the Catcher-Breeder consisted in a series of linked sacs or nodules. Each sac was shaped, by itself, much like a turnip, with a large rounded base, and a tapered tip. The base was recessed, allowing the tip of the following sac to fit into it.
The tip of each sac was a puckered, flanged unit that could unfold and deploy after penetrating through a small orifice, opening a passage to allow the contents of the sac to be injected.
Each sac was filled, as it was formed in the female Catcher-Breeder, with her insectoid eggs, giving the sac a lumpy appearance. As the controlling agency, a Dring, prepared to launch Catcher-Breeders, the female Catcher-Breeders would scuttle to the males, and insert sacs sequentially into a dorsal opening connected with the male sperm-probe, and leading to the male ovipositor duct. The male Catcher-Breeder's reproductive system would inject insectoid sperm under high pressure into the sacs through the base, filling them to a bulbous appearance, and then shove them on toward the ovipositor tip, a sort of natural version of a breech-loading repeating rifle.

As Sylvie ran naked from the grove in which she had been held captive and violated by the plants, she was completely unaware, first, that she was being watched, and, second, that Dring Hai had allowed her to "escape." Even if she had known these things, she could not have known about the underground Catcher-Breeder hive near the grove. Down in its tunnels, frantic female insects, the size of small dogs, were scurrying toward much larger male insects. The smallest males were the size of an adult Great Dane, and the typical male was the size of a pony. The females clambered up on to the male backs, and inserted little pale green sacks into openings there. The males began to get excited, and the inserted sacs swelled rapidly before disappearing down towards their posteriors. Dring Hai had sent the signal to catch, and to breed.
This process stimulated local females to produce larger sacs, containing more eggs, which were then filled in turn, and shuttled down in sequence to the previous sacs, filling in behind them and merging together, so as to form a sort of composite phallus of nested egg sacs, progressively greater in size.
After she had been running for several minutes, Sylvie became aware of strange chittering and thrashing sounds in the forest behind her. Pausing to catch her breath and look back, she was suddenly frozen with horror, as she saw a huge insect burst out of the underbrush, running at incredible speed, its multiple legs a blur, heading straight for her!
She screamed in fear and frustration, the colossal unfairness of making a daring escape from repeated plant-rape, only to be caught and eaten by a giant bug, being just too much for her to take. She bolted blindly away from the giant insect, pumping her arms, breath rushing in and out in huge gasps. She was sprinting as she never had in her life, and still she could hear the bug getting closer. In her imagination, she saw the bug's mandibles clacking shut to snap her neck, or, worse, some great stinger filling her with paralyzing poison, so that her insides would turn to liquid, and the bug would suck her dry. It was too horrible to think about! She must concentrate on running.
Suddenly, she tripped and fell flat on her face, hard, and the bug was on top of her. Literally on top of her. As she attempted to get up, rising to her hands and knees, a breathless shriek sounding from her, the bug made a cage around her with its huge brown legs, and her bottom bumped into its underside as soon as she lifted it from off the ground.
Sylvie reached back with one hand to try to push the bug off, shoving against its smooth hard shell, but it was like trying to push a car sideways. She made a move to scamper forward out of the cage of legs. That triggered the bug to grab her. Hard black claspers at the end of its legs dug firmly into her soft bare flesh, squeezing and holding firm. Two legs had her midsection, and the bug was moving its back two legs, as it positioned the rear part of its segmented body behind Sylvie's bottom. What was it doing back there?
She twisted her body, raising her chest off the turf, her lush breasts swinging free, and craned her head around to look behind her. "Oh god!" she thought, panting for breath, "That must be the stinger!" The creature had a huge, long, segmented stinger, sort of like a scorpion's tail, but curving downwards. Since it started somewhere on the top of the beast, and curved down behind her, it had to be at least two meters long, a series of linked bulbs, sickly greenish-white, a sure sign of poison, and it even had what appeared to be a stinger at the tip.
Crying, she braced herself for the sharp sting, which, it seemed, would come in one of her buttocks, and she wondered what the poison would feel like. If it was anything like a spider-bite, she was going to die in agony. It was so unfair!
And then, as some time went by, and she felt no sting, she began to understand that she had misjudged the situation. The creature was using the claspers on its back legs to grip her thighs, and to lift them, one after the other, and plant her knees apart. Wide apart...and then still wider. Then, the thing she thought was a stinger came curving up between her thighs, slapping onto the soft curve of her belly, so that she could feel the lumps of its sequential bulbs. It flexed strongly upward, forcing Sylvie to lift her bottom up higher, and then slid slowly back, each bulb or link rubbing hard, in turn, across her pubic mound. Her sensitive clitoris was massaged as the bulbs drew back across her puffy vulva, and the dragging pressure caused her labia to start to open.
"Ohhh!" gasped Sylvie, as the light dawned on her, hunched on all fours as she was, naked in the great outdoors, with a giant brown bug on top of her, and her bare pussy exposed to the breeze, "It's not a stinger...it's a penis!"
The original evolutionary design of this system assumed that the Catcher-Breeder would use small mammals as hosts. Thus, the egg sacs were designed to be easily inserted in the reproductive passages of quite small creatures, and the first sac was typically less than a centimeter in diameter, about the size of a small pea or bean. This was of benefit when using the new breeder pods, of course, since such a small initial penetrator could be inserted into the reproductive passage opening with a minimum of effort. Furthermore, this first small sac was swiftly and easily guided to the cervical opening, where its own very small fluted tip would force passage into the uterus without undue effort.
Sylvie began to whimper as she more fully understood the creature's sexual organ. The first impression was of an almost pathetic thing, a tiny little bulb the size of a bean, with a cute little flower-like tip. But, before it disappeared behind her bottom, she had seen what was behind it. The teeny little bulb had another, slightly larger, bulb right behind it. And there was another, bigger, behind that. And another behind that. She suddenly realized that the thing had, in effect, an enormously long penis, that got wider and wider as it went along, and that it meant to put THAT into her! She wondered, horrified, whether it would stop before it tore her insides open, or whether it would keep pushing until that cute little tip came out her mouth. And yet, another part of her wondered what it was going to feel like when the bulbs got to be the size of, say, an orange. Or a grapefruit... She shuddered, therefore, as the cute flowery tip of that tiny little bulb brushed against her vulva, and she convulsed out of all proportion to the actual sensation when she felt it slide past her nether lips, and start probing into her tight pussy.
