@WnMalo

[Mondafied]

BEST SPIDER MOVIE, EVER!!!!!!

[Wykfo]

if they ever end up actually having to fight eachother for real (rather than for dominance/show), how do they kill eachother?

also, in a fight like this does the loser usually go and starve themself or is it not such a serious blow to their confidence?

[sigma1920]

this is just a ritualized fight between males to get a mating partner.

as far as i know, males of this species do not kill each other.

the loser seems to lose his confidence for some tome.

[FarangBalls]

Im no expert but Cornelia looks like a different species than the other two. Unless the males and females of this species look very different.

[sigma1920]

thats right! :)

the male and the female of this species look very different in body colourations (sexual dimorphism), as in many salticid species.

thx 4 watchin.

わ！ドラマだ!!さすがのブルータスもコーネリアには手を焼きそ­うだな～

女郎蜘蛛の求婚見た事あるけど、オス5時間ぐらい踊ってた。でフ­ラれた。俺には出来ん...

[sigma1920]

余りにもドラマチックな展開に思わず感情移入してしまいますよね­。

女郎蜘蛛の交尾を観察した動画も公開しておりますので、よろしけ­ればご覧下さい。

タイトル「ジョロウグモの交接と共食い」

こちらは壮絶な修羅場です。

Cute. Poor Caesar... Well, Brutus was huge.

[sigma1920]

yes, the bigger one usually wins.

[rosmarinusofficialis]

You were so lucky to witness this.

[sigma1920]

yes, indeed!

i was totally exhausted after a few hours of filming this which demanded high concentration.

as u can imagine, my body was full of adrenaline and endorphin.

[oOFamousLastWordsOo]

it looks like some sort of interpretive dance, haha.

but i was going for caesar the whole time. :/

[sigma1920]

so was i! :D

i know that my annotations look like cheesy anthropomorphism.

but they r based on the established biology of their courtship behaviour and precopulatory guard.

thx 4 watching!

[oOFamousLastWordsOo]

beleive me, the annotations made it more interesting. :)

( by the way because of you & your channel im realizing how much i love spiders and insects, i even have a pet wolf spider. thankyou!)

[gelbesAeffchen]

great job

[sigma1920]

thx, glad u liked it.

[maculifrons]

AW  :[

Such is the case with male crickets too. They are head of their little hideout until a bigger male comes along along

[sigma1920]

cool!

u must post a vid of the cricket fights. :)

or have u?

btw, i think this episode is the most dramatic and touching.

i really felt sorry for Caesar.
