The pair are intertwined (and lobster faced), they were clasped at the tail section, the lower specimen was about 6-8 inches long. These were shot on a beach on Sanibel Island Fl (small dunes near parking lot with veg.) hurridly as a storm was approaching (pic quality is poor) more evidence I need a real flash..:)

(Giant lower (male/female?) in focus, the opening shot was my best attempt at getting both bugs heads into tight focus...flash. On my list.

(The top member of the couple, note the crustecean face, ...we actually went to Skip One Seafoods right after...amazing steamed shellfish:D )
