Field Notes

Description:

It was only the upper of this pair of Common Five Rings that was moving. What I think happened here is that, while mating, one of this pair died. And so the other one was stuck with the other one stuck in its butt. Kind of weird.

It seems so sad, but it's actually quite funny.
