(A) Mating couple of M. roeselii during copulation. (B) Enlargement of the male’s and female’s genitalia. The male (left) grasps the female (right) with its cerci (c) and pulls the genitalia close to each other. The female’s ovipositor (o) is touched by the male’s styli (st) and often also by its first two leg pairs. The female’s genital fold and the male’s titillators are covered by the male’s phallobasis (pb).
