Mating season for insects, apparently!

For some reason, the first four species I observed on my walk today were all mating. Not that I've not seen it before, but it was just a weird coincidence.

Apparently, my 13-year-old's (at the time) favourite observation ever was a couple of slugs mating.

While recording insect porn, I was practicing with macro on my camera. I'm getting better, but I still can't get results with my Canon as I can with my phone and a magnifier.
