Male fruit flies go through a behavioral progression when courting females that includes: orienting towards the female, following/chasing her, wing vibrations (courtship song), licking her genitalia, attempting copulation, and copulation. The first pair here shows the male quickly progressing through the later stages of courtship. The second couple goes through the progression several times, until finally copulating. Feel free to use this in seminars, classes, etc.

For some reason I *still* haven't gotten sick of this, even after 7 years.
