Whip-scorpion romance

Fatlimey sez, “On the Arachnopets board, people enjoy keeping nature’s nightmares as pets. and you can read about the owners going all squishy about their pets and their little arachnobabies. This thread is a whip scorpion love story with
mysterious dances, spermatophores and ‘cute baby whipling’ pictures.”

Well, I have a pair of adult D. variegatus and this evening I put them together. The male touched many times the female body but she reject him. After that, I left them alone, more “private” and 2-3 hours late i found the male walking out of the cork and the female was behind a “drop”, I think it was the structure where the sperm is guarded (I don´t know the english word, sorry)

Damon variegatus male and female sex! :-P

(Thanks, Fatlimey!)
