    Ok now I’m curious about what the fuck the two centipedes I found in my basement that I thought were fucking were actually doing. They sure looked like they were fucking.

      A disappointingly large proportion of the general population appears to be unable to tell the difference between centipedes and millipedes. Is it possible that the “centipedes” you saw were actually millipedes? If so, they may have been “fucking”, or at least the millipede equivalent of it.

      Additionally, it appears that this “fact” is actually wrong (big surprise, huh?). Many species of centipede do have courtship strategies that involve males and females meeting up. The sexes may even employ various forms of physical touch as part of the process. So, it’s certainly possible that the critters you saw where centipedes courting each other.

        Assuming this is actually representative of the difference, it was definitely a pair of centipedes.

        I’m not surprised in the least that at a minimum it’s more complicated than the meme suggests, and now I’ve learned far more about centipedes than I ever wanted to. Thanks!

      Centipedes see other Centipedes as food, which is why they reproduce this way.

    Sooo are centipedes like fruit flies and not engage in any real form of sexual selection, or is the female going around judging the fuck out of every jizz pile she encounters?

    “Mmm-mm, look at that poor viscosity, obviously from a low-quality male. This one on the other hand: deep color, firm texture, nice and sticky… clearly produced by a male with the superior genes I want to pass along to my offspring.”

          So, this is off topic, but it’s so wild I had to include it:

          https://theinsectory.com.au/centipede-care-guide/

          Sexing centipedes is no easy task, most species cant be sexed at all visually. Try to avoid sexing them if you have no intention of breeding, as risks far outweigh rewards and you could easily kill your centipede as well as causing a lot of unneeded stress.

          To sex your centipedes (make sure you’re comfortable, as this is a very risky procedure). Put the centipede in a glass or plastic jar with a small hole in the lid, start filling the jar with water until its full. Keep an eye on it, once your centipede becomes unconscious remove it from the water and place on some paper towel. The sex organs are found in the last segment, apply slight pressure to the second last segment and they should pop out. Take some high quality pics and compare them to pics available online. You can also knock them out with CO2 gas.

          I’m running out of time to find real husbandry, but I imagine it’s a rather hands-off affair

      Most cephalopods die after mating. Their sex hormones make them go crazy and they stop looking for food except to eat themselves occasionally. Once the sex hormone glad starts pumping them out, it doesn’t stop until they die a horrible death. Live fast and die young.

          They don’t do any parenting, either. Nor do siblings ever team up. Baby octopus just has to take care of itself, alone.

          It’s weird, they’re so intelligent, but don’t teach anything to the next generation.

              Sooner or later some octopus will survive beyond reproduction and then we can welcome our new mollusc overlords

            Squid siblings often team up. Very social animals with communication done by color flashing. Humboldt squid have a very high social intelligence compared to a solitary animal like most octopus. Unfortunately that live fast and die young still applies. They need to hunt to grow and they’re not adverse to cannibalism. Still, need to be smart to team up and hunt with a crew that will eat you given the opportunity. Ruthless killers and frighteningly intelligent pack hunters that signal to each other which prey they’re going after.
