Lilly Posted October 28, 2016 #3 Share Posted October 28, 2016 LOL! I find these spiders to be adorable (in a macabre kind of way). So, the males 'dance' and 'sing' for the females...but if they aren't so good at it the females just eat them for lunch! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilly Posted October 28, 2016 #6 Share Posted October 28, 2016 BTW, I just love the eye placement on the jumping spiders...they are so darn cute (brutal, but cute). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenith Posted October 28, 2016 #7 Share Posted October 28, 2016 The researchers' little set ups (like pinning the dead female) and camera work never cease to amaze me. Great little video. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
