Mates underground in a unique manner, wherein males search and enter burrows of females that are ready to ovulate, or is pre-ovigerous (Ref. 104850). Members of the order Decapoda are mostly gonochoric. Mating behavior: Precopulatory courtship ritual is common (through olfactory and tactile cues); usually indirect sperm transfer (Ref. 833).
