This video depicts a male Schizocosa ocreata wolf spider "eavesdropping" on the courtship behavior of another male spider (on the video screen), and responding by initiating courtship behavior. The video shows how the observer spider adjusts the rate of leg-tapping behavior to match and even outperform the behavior of its rival, most likely as a form of pre-emptive mate competition.
