Ladybugs mating

If this doesn't count as an arthropod "interaction," I don't know what would. I thought I had to hurry to snap the photo, but it turns out ladybugs will keep this up for a couple hours. I also wondered why they were mating at this time of year. It may be because female ladybugs can store a male's sperm for months before using it, but I'm not sure. Anyway, enjoy your voyeuristic insect photo.
