Ever seen a spider mate?
I know this will disturb some of you (well, most of you :wink: ), but I thought I'd put some pics up that Steve took of a tarantula (bird eating spider) mating we did today.
These two are the Phlogiellus species (one of the 7 named species of tarantulas). The big black female 'Jewel' is 17cm legspan, and the pink coloured male is a little smaller. Note the sexual dimorphism in this species
So, this is what spiders look like doing their thing
