@brianriff8550 4 года назад

It was neat to learn that apparently most male spiders actually *present* themselves for eating rather than being unwilling victims. Because the young AND the mother are going to need the nutrients present, they'll often basically give themselves to the female as a sacrifice. It's neat!

@theworthysoul 4 года назад

True, a lot do. There’s even some that become paralysed and stuck to the female in a coma-like state after mating. Then she can eat him, or he’ll just starve to death on her. Then there’s some like Male black widows that attempt to escape.

That is really cool indeed. And then some of the females also sacrifice their own bodies when the babies are born because they feed off of her so extensively that she ends up dying too. Both parents sacrifice themselves in the end for the babies. Nature is crazy.

@danakiami7000 2 месяца назад

I read that in the spider world, the female kills and eats the male, then she sacrifices herself to her babies and they eat her. The very home a spider spins is a web wh8ch can be destroyed in the blink of an eye... The spider truly has the weakest of homes. It reminds me of a Quranic verse in a chapter called "The Spider" where God says: ((The example of those who take allies other than Allāh is like that of the spider who takes [i.e., constructs] a home. And indeed, the weakest of homes is the home of the spider, if they only knew.))

@KoneSkirata 6 лет назад

Do the male jumping spiders lose their biological needs to get away from danger after mating or why didn't he jump to safety like during the ritual? If so, could this have evolved for the very reason you mentioned, because the males actually provide a nice little buffet for the next generation, therefore favouring a trait of non-fleeing males? Or maybe he was just unlucky that time ...

@codeOwler 6 лет назад

probably because he didnt have the energy to. also because when female spiders eat the male, a nutrient source, the babies would be better developed than a female spider who didnt eat the male so there could be a trait that "paralyzes" the male after sex or a female trait that paralyzes the male after sex. its similar to male and female praying mantis relationship, i think.

@jameswoll 6 лет назад

Don't forget the possibility that he may be OK with sacrificing himself for the mother and his kids.

@KoneSkirata 6 лет назад

jameswoll Call me sceptical but I doubt an organism the size of a grain of rice can contemplate about sacrifice and future benefits.

@idontcare7340 6 лет назад

KoneSkirata Well said.

@erdemyavuzyldz7644 6 лет назад

Right, that creature does not contemplate about sacrifice and future benefits, but you will think about the future and sacrifices of the things you will create, when the technology advances that much. Even though the size of your creation may be as big as a rice or even smaller, nano bots etc.

I read or heard somewhere that new generation of peacock spiders can’t use old dancing moves of their dads as it somehow becomes ineffective over time. So with the passage of time, moves become more and more sophisticated, and some new elements get added making it improbable to use old fashioned dancing styles when it comes to mating
