loving slugs

Description:

5-6 cm long. yellow with somewhat orange shades, dark "optical tentacles" (would not say: black), both had sperm substance pouring out the side. --Slugs are hermaphrodites, having both female and male reproductive organs. Once a slug has located a mate, they encircle each other and sperm is exchanged through their protruded genitalia. A few days later the slugs lay around 30 eggs in a hole in the ground, or beneath the cover of an object such as a fallen log. Apophallation is a commonly seen practice among many slugs. In apophallating species, the penis curls like a corkscrew and during mating often becomes entangled in the mate's genitalia. Apophallation allows the slugs to separate themselves by one or both of the slugs chewing off the other's penis. Once its penis has been removed, the slug is still able to mate using only the female parts of its reproductive system

Habitat:

forrest, west-europe, autumm

Notes:

this schould not be the common "arion vulgaris", because , then it would be the smalltest matured red spanish slug, i ever seen. Both specimen were 5-6 cm. When not matured, then at least so far developed to bread. I have written "loving" slug, because they dont need a partner for reproducing. most slugs are "hermaphrodite" (means: 1 slug could start an invasion). Why would they search a partner, when not for joy :)
