SUMMER ADVENTURES - Episode 17 - MATING GONE WRONG

avatar

In many spiders species, the males are definitely the weaker sex ...

... and when it comes to mating, they need a carefully executed ritual approach and a bit of luck to get out of this reproductive experience alive ...

... and avoid to be just another meal for the female ...

... here you can see an example of this situation ... the antithesis of the happily ever after ...

... an unhappy end of a very short relationship ... and now ... you can say - yes, but how can I be sure that the thing enveloped in silk that the female is consuming is a male spider and not some insect ... hehe and as an answer I prepared this little video where you can see the pair in a deadly embrace ...
and that's it ... this little spider post is over ... have a good day ... or night ... in whathever relationship you are ... or even if you don't relate to anything :D ... as always in these posts on Steemit the photographs and the low quality video, are my work ...

It's amazing you captured the scene we've all read about in one place or another. And I couldn't resist watching the video. But it was, what can I say, not beautiful.
