What's the difference between ovipositor and terebra?
Ovipositor
Definition:
(n.) The organ with which many insects and some other animals deposit their eggs. Some ichneumon files have a long ovipositor fitted to pierce the eggs or larvae of other insects, in order to lay their own eggs within the same.
Example Sentences:

(2) He stared not at the twitching Petrobras P36 with its concrete in the mere, not at its drill ovipositor injecting slippy black rig eggs into England, but at the sea.
(3) To continuously monitor ovipositor movements a new actograph was devised; it was composed of a radioelement glued at the ventral tip of the ovipositor, a scintillation probe to detect ovipositor movements and a microcomputer to store and process data.
(4) Sensilla on legs and ovipositor of the moth Ostrinia nubilalis were investigated by light and scanning electron microscopy.
