Reconstructions of reproductive anatomy of L. simulans obtained from micro-CT scans, showing male and female in copula. (a) The male genitalia in isolation and (b,c) the interaction between the male and female genitalia (with the body transparent) in dorsal and lateral view, respectively. The fleshy base of the aedeagus can be seen in orange/brown (aed), and the coiled processus in purple (pro). The paired male claspers are shown in blue (cla). The female bursa is shown in green (bur), and the spermatheca in yellow (spe). The corkscrew region at the entrance to the spermatheca is shown at point D. The aedeagus enters the female at point E. The approximate point where the processus enters the female spermathecal duct is shown at point F. Scale bar, 1 mm.
