EDITORS COMMENTS
Love is in the air! These Spanish slugs are taking their romance to new heights in Germany. Captured by FLPA/Jurgen & Christine Sohns, this print showcases an intimate moment between two adult pairs of Arion vulgaris, also known as Spanish Slugs. These introduced species have made themselves at home in Germany's terrestrial wildlife, and it seems they're not shy about expressing their affection. Mating season brings out the amorous side of these gastropods, as they engage in a passionate copulation ritual. Against a backdrop of lush greenery and under the warm September sun, these slugs remind us that love knows no boundaries – not even for molluscs! Their pulmonate nature allows them to thrive on land, making them fascinating creatures to observe. As we marvel at this snapshot from Central Europe's natural wonders, let's appreciate the beauty and diversity that alien species bring to our environment. While some may view them as invaders, there is undeniable charm in witnessing their breeding habits up close. So next time you stumble upon a pair of mating slugs during your autumn stroll through German wilderness, remember to give them some privacy – after all, everyone deserves a little love!
