She definitely seems to have noticed the second male. "Just wait a minute. I'll eat you...uh...I mean I'll mate with you next." This needs a sound track. Perhaps something from "Psycho".

I hope he's taking notes, especially when it's over and the "winner" loses all...

Hmmm... I wonder if they are able to think? Or if it's all reflexes, reacting on pheromones or visual stimuli that are pre-programmed somewhere inside. Large eyes, small head, slim body - no brain as we see it. Another great photo of this trio! More, please! Keep up the good work! :-)
