JUMPING SPIDER MATING RITUAL

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D92AUXhYZ0M]

I know many people find spiders icky but this video was too interesting to pass up. It shows a male jumping spider participating in an elaborate mating ritual. He is attempting to impress the female so that she will allow him to mate with her. Apparently, the audio has been enhanced to allow us to hear the sounds he makes during his “song and dance”.

  1. LOL, that is just so weird. Does he want to mate with her or kill her? FYI men, come at me like that, and I’m running away!

  2. HA HA HA! That’s awesome! I especially liked the bit when he would suddenly straighten hig front legs and make that thwacking sound. It made me lol every time.

  3. I laughed so hard when he stuck his legs out straight… Buddy spider is trying hard!Ryan
