Ladybird Love Affair! (பொன்வண்டின் காதல் பரிசு)
The body of the female ladybird prepares by readying the unfertilized eggs, when it is in heat and is ready to copulate. The male ladybird pursues her, rides on the female's back and when she is receptive, he enters her and fertilizes the already formed eggs that are present within her body. For those who study biology: please note that the reproductive organs of this insect is very similar to the mammalian sexual organs.
After the fertilization is complete, she runs around the plant checking the underparts of each leaf carefully and lays her fertilized eggs. The eggs emerge as thick and translucent jelly that is yellowish brown in color that dries and forms the thin yet strong shell when they come into contact with air.
In order to ensure the survival of her babies, who would not have their doting parents around to protect them, she lays the eggs in as many leaves as possible, either one or two eggs per leaf and never more than two. She also lays her eggs under the petal of the flowers.
Please watch it in full-screen and also have the speakers on to enjoy the AV (Piano music courtesy: Old music archives).
