slug mating!

i think by now, most people will think i'm some pervert stalking animals and insects , hiding in bushes with a camera waiting for them to mate...

but in this case, these pair of slugs were crawling on the house wall outside, and alex saw them on his way in and told me about it...

so i didnt wait in bushes... but i did wait out in the cold summer wind , about 14 degrees (cold for singaporeans XD) and wait for them to finish. XD

so first up, one slug will follow the other's trail of slime, which secretes something which indicates they wanna mate if i'm not wrong...

then they curl up like that...
then they start doing the cool twisty dangly thingy , the start of which i missed because i wasnt about to sit out in the cold watching them chase each other in slow motion... oh, and their sexual organs start coming out of course.

and they start REALLY extending...
if you look closely, you see that one of the tubies has a dark thing in there, i suspect its eggs going to be fertilised... in the next pic you see why...
that bulbous looking thingy holds eggy looking stuff... and if i were to zoom in, you'd see white creamy liquid (geeee i wonder what) . they're all drippy and covered with viscous slime afterward, dripping off abit like water.

and that concludes my little insight on reproduction!
