Snail sex!

Watch on YouTube

It's as work-safe as two snails sensuously gliding over and grinding against one another can be, when set to music.

Warning for arachnophobes, there's a spider in the video after the snails are done.

The world really is an amazing place. That kinda sounds like Ladytron, any idea who the music was by?

If you click the video outside the little play button, it will take you to the YouTube page, which tells me that the song is "Sexy Boy", by Air.

That's an excerpt from "Microcosmos", and it's well worth seeing the whole movie - which manages to be 80 minutes of extreme close-ups of insects and completely fascinating.

I agree

A friend and I saw this movie in the theater on a whim... the only other people in there was a professor and his wife. Beautiful, spooky, amazing film.

Those two snails were the sexiest thing I'd ever seen, like a full body french kiss... until I realised that they were stabbing each other with slivers of rock. Or however you describe "love darts".

Music goes well though:P

When I saw the subject line I thought this was that one scene in The Wicker Man. (The original and, in my universe, ONLY version.)

It's strange that we(I) find snails having sex to be totally erotic, but two -say- dogs having sex to generally be comical or distasteful depending on the situation.

I suppose dogs rutting strikes a little too close to home and reminds us of how silly we look.

Funny, Microcosmos was a HUGE indie success in Columbus. At the local arthouse theater it ran for several months and sold out repeatedly for weeks on end. The local critics were all giving it 5 stars. I enjoyed it quite a bit.

I need an adult.
