两性都是食肉动物。“小的，小的，受精首先是通过[雄性]的偷偷接近来保证的，在求爱期间，他的整个行为都是为了不引起[雌性]的注意。一旦他到达了[女性]的后面，他就不会受到攻击，交配就发生了。如果[男性]被发现和攻击交配仍然是可能的。食管下神经节中的神经中枢部分或完全抑制（1）缓慢的侧向运动，（2）起源于最后一个腹部神经节的腹部交配运动。如果这一抑制中枢被[雌性]破坏，则开始的侧向运动将[雄性]的身体带到[雌性]的背部，并且连续的交配运动导致插入抱扣。这种性反射机制在未成熟的[雄性][雄性]中是完整的，产卵也以类似的方式控制。
Both sexes are carnivorous. The [female] frequently attacks and eats the smaller and more active [male]. Fertilization is assured firstly by the stealthy approach of the [male], and his whole behavior during the courtship is such as not to attract the attention of the [female]. Once he has reached the back of the [female] unobserved he is not attacked and copulation takes place. Should the [male] be detected and attacked copulation is still possible. A nerve centre in the sub-esophageal ganglion partially or completely inhibits (1) slow lateral locomotor movements, (2) copulatory movements of the abdomen which have their origin in the last abdominal ganglion. If this inhibitory centre is destroyed by a [female] the lateral locomotion which commences brings the body of the [male] on to the back of the [female] and the continuous copulatory movements result in insertion of the claspers. This sexual reflex mechanism is complete in immature [male][male] and oviposition is controlled in a similar fashion.
