a rise in pressure inflates the organ and squeezes its internal sperm reservoir

Sounds familiar! \O


Here, the female may respond in three ways:
- facilitate palp insertion by curling her legs close to her abdomen and staying motionless;
- avoid palp insertion, by running away or
- avoid palp insertion, by attacking the male.


Sounds familiar! \O lol

In humans, there is a lot more variety in rituals which is great as you have a choice but it also makes it very complicated

Wynand from iNaturalist (may be the same person who commented here on page 2 -O- ) entered an ID for these two as Stenaelurillus sp., same as we were considering. Should I do an entry as Sten. Sp.; Poss. Sten…; or hold off as entering it? Thanks.
