Lunar Horny Moths

When you put 6 Lunar Hornet moths together
you know something's going to happen.
The female pushes out a gland from her tail and releases pheromones
A male arrives within minutes. 
The male gets in position.......
........ a bit of jostling.......
...and it's game on, for 6 hours!
The female then lays eggs on a Willow Tree trunk. Job done.
