Amazing footage!

The interaction of the two male Linyphiids is indeed cannibalism. The one male is already dead, that white blob on his abdomen being his "blood" or haemolymph. I suspect, considering they're on the female's web, that she had her fill and this other male is taking advantage to fill up before mating to improve his odds of a successful mate. Really bloody cool to see!

And the clips of the weaver spood (Uloborid) are spectacular! Such awesome spiders, and weird considering they don't have venom glands!

Thanks so much for posting this! Loved it.
