Astrea spawning event
I had good fortune to be at home and witness three of my astrea snails simultaneously spawning. I will be the first to admit I dont know the first thing about how they reproduce, so I can only assume that I had two males broadcasting sperm and one female releasing eggs. It was really interesting that the female was positioned between the two males. Im not sure whether that was coincidence or not. I apparently wasn't the only one interested in what was going on.
Female in the middle, one male higher up and one male lower  Shots of the males.
