I've moved these slugs from the Arthropods category to the Other category for you.

Leopard slugs (Limax maximus) mating?

WOW! These are leopard slugs, they have an amazing method of mating by entwining their bodies. Those weird white things are their sex organs, they're exchanging sperm. Both will go off and lay their own set of eggs. How amazing that you found them at it!
