What are the modified second pair of legs called and what is their function? They're not the gonopods, they're back on segment 8 (or is it 7?).
I believe I encountered these two after mating as they were facing each other and more tightly coiled before I was able to get my camera set up. The male was touching the female with its antennae and first pair of legs, and maybe the weird second legs, but the gonopods seemed to be folded back.
