The male of Platystoma seminationis as the next step also places his feet at the inner rim of the female's eyes. The couple remains like this for a while. Then, the female bends her head upward. |
They start to put out their proboscises: the male downward, the female steeply upward. |
Their ends meet and remain in touch. |
