Good shot author... SO scary : D .

Not sure how this shows love. Theme specifically says not to just show two animals together

kyricom: No, the theme is not to put two animals together. I guarantee you I did not touch these things. (ew) They were probably about to mate when I took this pic. You do see two slugs right? One snuggling up to the big one of the right?

I definitely see two animals, but I'd be hard pressed to call it snuggling. Anthropomorphism does not equal "love" (for me). Sorry

Have to agree with kyricom. Slugs are actually hermaphroditic- possessing both male and female organs. Their mating process involves a long mucus chord like a slimey bungee jump from which the slugs are suspended. Both their male sexual organs are then inverted. Sometimes the mating process finishes with one or both slugs biting off the other's penis. They then become what's known in rowing as a cockless pair

Thank you Bill Nye the science guy. Look, if they look like they are showing affection, who cares what they are really doing? I'm sorry "in your own opinion" you don't like it. To me, one slug leaned over and kissed the other slug. That's what I see and don't care too much about what they are really doing.
