Still Waters Posted October 27, 2013 #1 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Male spiders have been documented wrapping flies and other "gifts" in their silk and presenting the package to a female with the hopes of mating. New research suggests that these gifts give the males a better chance at fathering offspring. http://www.naturewor...ction-video.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilly Posted October 27, 2013 #2 Share Posted October 27, 2013 So when it comes to spiders they don't "put a ring on it" rather they "put a fly on it" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taun Posted October 28, 2013 #3 Share Posted October 28, 2013 And then the female eats them... Human females are dangerous enough... I'm just glad I'm not a spider - or preying mantis... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
