okay this has been one of my favorite topics of conversation for the better part of eight years -- lobster mating rituals
I tried to find a good video but there aren't any good ones, really, so I will just copy this
A female lobster can mate only just after she sheds her shell. Lobster society has evolved a complex, touching courtship ritual that protects the female when she is most vulnerable. When she is ready to molt, the female lobster approaches a male's den and wafts a sex "perfume" called a pheromone in his direction. Unlike a female moth, whose sex pheromone may attract dozens of random suitors, the female lobster does the choosing. She usually seeks out the largest male in the neighborhood and stands outside his den, releasing her scent in a stream of urine from openings just below her antennae. He responds by fanning the water with his swimmerets, permeating his apartment with her perfume. He emerges from his den with his claws raised aggressively. She responds with a brief boxing match or by turning away. Either attitude seems to work to curb the male's aggression. The female raises her claws and places them on his head to let him know she is ready to mate. They enter the den, and some time after, from a few hours to several days later, the female molts. At this point the male could mate with her or eat her, but he invariably does the noble thing. He gently turns her limp body over onto her back with his walking legs and his mouth parts, being careful not to tear her soft flesh. They mate "with a poignant gentleness that is almost human, " observes Dr. Atema. The male, who remains hard-shelled, inserts his first pair of swimmerets, which are rigid and grooved, and passes his sperm into a receptacle in the female's body. She stays in the safety of his den for about a week until her new shell hardens. By then the attraction has passed, and the couple part with hardly a backward glance.

Breeding occurs in winter (usually August–September) at a time when there is little food available in the environment, and in order to ensure breeding success, male antechinuses strip their body of vital proteins and also suppress the immune system so as to free up additional metabolic energy. In this way an individual male trades away long-term survival in return for short-term breeding success, and following the breeding season there is a complete die-off of physiologically exhausted males. Breeding is intensely competitive. Males produce large amounts of testosterone and mate-guarding occurs in the form of protracted copulation (up to twelve hours in some species).
The females can store sperm for up to three days in specialized sperm-storage crypts in the ovary and do not ovulate until the end of the breeding season. Many litters have multiple paternity (i.e., several fathers contribute to a single litter). Females can live for 2–3 years. However, this is unusual, and most females die following the weaning of their first litter. Litters size depends on the number of teats in the pouch. There are as few as 4 teats, usually 8, and in some populations up to 10 can occur. It is currently unknown why teat number varies. However, it is likely that in food-poor environments selection has tended towards fewer teats so that there is a greater parental investment per offspring.

a series of short videos about the reproductive habits of a handful of common insects, by isabella rossellini
these may be the most fantastic things I've ever seen
spider is my personal favorite; it is amazing how similar their reproductive habits are to my own!
itt let's talk about the bizarre mating habits of insects and other things that have sex (but not you we don't want to hear about that)
there was a program like this in the uk once, i can't remember what it was, but part of it they had like sex councilling sessions between two spiders and stuff it was like 'i want to have sex but she keeps trying to eat my head'

That movie was so strange. Hell all of his movies are strange.
they were going to make a "Tales from Kate's Sperm-Storage Crypt" but they just couldn't keep a host long enough
(is that good)
edit: (because it has a double-connotation involving a host/parasite relationship too)
that's adorable too
underappreciated post right hurr
this is probably my favorite line of anything ever
