"Of course, once I saw this, I had to go on a deep dive," shared Gellar. "Like, how does that work? Basically, it puts its penis into the mate. I have never said [the word penis] this many times on television. I feel like something bad is about to happen."

Added Gellar, "So it puts its doink into the woman, and then in a huff of machoism, it leaves it there to impregnate her and then goes off to fight the other spiders."

"Really?" replied Meyers.

"Patriarchy at work," quipped Gellar, later wondering how the spiders "get it back."

Said Meyers, "I don't think they're re-attachable penis spiders."

"I have to go look further now," said Gellar of her research. "My Google history is just bad news. Like, bad news!"

The actress was on hand to promote her new series Dexter: Original Sin, a prequel to the crime drama series Dexter that starred Michael C. Hall as a serial killer who moonlighted as a blood spatter analyst and forensic expert. Patrick Gibson stars as the young Dexter Morgan, while Gellar plays Tanya Martin, a forensics expert at the Miami Metro Police Department and Dexter's boss.

Call it a dream role for Gellar, who is a big fan of the original series and has said in the past that she would love to guest star on it. "I thought it would've been so cool to be on it and, you know, I missed my window. And then you learn, 'Wait. Maybe it could still happen,'" she told Meyers. "I'm just manifesting a lot of stuff right now."

The Buffy the Vampire Slayer alum last starred on Paramount+'s short-lived Wolf Pack series, an offshoot of Teen Wolf, and the black comedy film Do Revenge.
