Partly mummified rats. found behind two sheets of old Tempex while clearing out shed. ocked together in copulation. The male (left) is still visibly locked inside the female (right) with his baculum) They must have fallen between the sheets (onto a block of wood) while f****** on the ledge above. Was this a death in exctacy, way to go? Or did something much more gruesome take place? Could it be that she died in the fall, and he was somehow trapped, 'locked' into her through some spasm? Did he eat her before expiring himself at long last (she appeared gnawed) or was that decomposition?

Okay, so they're a bit blurry! But these birdies were moving fast. And I had to post at least one image of this, because, LOL I SAW KOOKABURRAS HAVING SEX TODAY.

Killdeer, after copulation

The wasp queen is obviously bigger than the male.

During the copulation they were tightly connected and flew around . They changed positions several times.

Diese Wespenpaarung konnte ich an einem schönen Herbsttag beobachten.

Die Wespenkönign ist deutlich grösser als das Männchen.

An ihren Enden verbunden flogen sie herum. 4 bis 5 weitere Männchen umschwirrten das Paar, als es sich in den Blättern niederliess.

Sie wechselten mehrmals die Position. Hier ist das Männchen oben zu sehen.

Migration, copulation and pollination provide the themes for this week’s Crete Nature Blog: cretenature.blogspot.co.uk/2015/05/sun-sex-and-sandpipers...

There are several species of Meadowhawk native to Minnesota.

I'm not sure what these flies are, but they are kind of small, and pretty common lol :p

Still, I'm wondering why some of them prefer to copulate doggy style, whereas some prefer rear-to-rear? haha :p
