The male
Long-bodied Bug
(fig.),
an insect that is commonly known in Thai as
muan mayao,
is
somewhat larger in size than the female.
When
mating, the male partner may keep on
walking, dragging the copulated female along
on its way, despite the fact that they are
facing opposite directions.

even as
the male is crawling over obstacles and
climbing uphill.
