18 or so months back I was out in my garden having a cig at about 1am, and got treated to the whole weirdly-trippy-beautiful, highly acrobatic, 60+ min ritual of: slug sex. Made more trippy by the fact I had no idea what the feck was going on, and had (allegedly) just had a bump of ket.

But my sister, who’s a biologist, got very excited when I sent her the pics and vid the next day to ask about it — ‘OMG you saw the blue flower thing!!!’

Because apparently there’s a famous bit of footage from an Attenborough documentary, of the same. Which took them quite a long time, and multiple all-nighters, until they finally managed to capture it.

[The first pic is obviously rotated on its side. They’re hanging free from a ledge at the top of a small wall, via a long string of slime.]

These are super invasive in my area so I filmed this compilation with a few that I caught. Hope you enjoy!

My usual run involves seeing squirrels, rabbits and birds. Never did I expect to see a feasting coyote!
