Probably a stupid question but are they sleeping like that or mating?

In that photo they are doing both.

That's not really true Paul and you know it :P. They are sleeping. The reason the male is on the female's back like that is that he has claimed her as his mate. They are not actually mating in the photo.

Ok John, I was over simplifying
John is correct, they are sleeping in the photo and when awake the male messages the female to try and stimulate her to lay eggs.

Kurt had so much fun messing with my profile. But after all that effort, I couldn't make him immediately change everything back. When the time comes, however, he better change it all back. I definitely don't want to do it.
