#Spawnwatch... we have awful weather, which is preventing a fair bit of froggy action. But at least I now see amplexus.

When Janeway released her eggs, Paris would have released sperm over them.

Amplexus can last for hours.

Essentially, Janeway and Paris would have gone tantric.

There are, as far as I know, 9 types of documented amplexus positions, here's a chart that shows 7 of those. Also sex reversed (female on top) inguinal amplexus is definitely a fun frog behavior that has been observed by some scientist in a cuck chair.

wood frog amplexus in one of my vernal pools...
I long to hear them call, I've had enough winter.

However, most species of salamanders don't do amplexus. They do internal fertilisation. Fertilisation would happen inside Janeway's body before she laid her eggs.

This isn't achieved by penetration. It's much weirder.

A lucky photo moment. Wood frogs (Lithobates sylvaticus) in amplexus (mating). Female laying eggs as smaller male fertilizes them. Slightly older egg mass to the right. Vernal pool obligates

I caught this pair of Red-eyed Tree Frogs in amplexus peeping on us last night through our window.

Little exhibitionists.

A pair of California toads clutched in amplexus, with the smaller male clutching the back of the female to fertilize eggs as she releases them.

If Janeway and Paris engaged in external fertilisation, they would have undertaken a manoeuvre called amplexus. Tom Paris would have come up behind Captain Janeway and embraced her with his forelimbs. They would then position their cloacas close together.

And walking about on the land thereabouts. Toads on their own, in amplexus, and newts strolling about and making their way to the ponds... 2/n

I didn't make it to the pond, but the weather has been A++ and the amphibians are on the move! Common frogs in amplexus.

Two common frogs in amplexus, where the smaller male frog is riding on the female's back and grasping her with his front legs. The frogs are a green colour with brown markings.

Our friend Lau's Leaf Litter Toad lives in Hong Kong and is known to perform sex-reversed inguinal amplexus, where the female mounts the male from behind and holds his waist while laying her eggs! (photo by C.H.Leung)
A small brown toad with dark brown splotches sitting on a large rock! They have a somewhat large head relative to their size, large eyes, and are covered in lots of round, warty bumps!
