EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing moment in the world of nature. Two slugs, identified as netted or grey field slugs (Deroceras reticulatum), are seen engaged in an intimate act of mating on a delicate leaf. Slugs, being hermaphrodites, possess both male and female reproductive organs, resulting in a unique sexual reproduction process involving the exchange of sperm. The photograph was taken during the month of August when these fascinating creatures typically engage in their mating rituals. The image showcases the intricate details of their bodies intertwined together, highlighting the biological marvels that occur within this seemingly simple act. The setting for this enchanting scene appears to be a garden, where these mollusks have found each other to form a pair engaged in reproducing offspring. Autumn serves as another season for slug mating alongside springtime. Antonia Reeve skillfully captured this extraordinary moment with precision and artistry. The photograph not only offers insight into the world of slugs but also provides an opportunity to appreciate the wonders of zoology and biology present within our natural surroundings.
