The male nursery spider faces a dilemma - the female spider is much bigger and likes to eat male suitors while mating. So, it develops a clever strategy: it brings a dead insect to distract the female spider, then it plays dead. Then when the feame is busy munching on the gift, it revives, creeps under her and begins mating. Link(via Aberrant News) |
