Because the males are rubbish in the sack.
ReplyDeletecos they've got a bit of sense!
ReplyDeleteIt's a post-coital snack...actually, spiders are very territorial and the females will try to attack and kill any spider that enters their territories...the males just get a reprieve until after they've done their reproductive duties. Sometimes the males are fast enough to get away before the females decide to munch on them, but usually the females are too quick...call it the ultimate in duplicity.
ReplyDeleteBiologically, they do it to ensure that they have enough nutrition to produce the egg sack. But having seen widows mate, if I got stabbed with one of those things, I'd kill the guy too.
ReplyDeletebeacuse all men are usless !
ReplyDeleteby pressing their neck
ReplyDeleteAt least a female in on species has the right idea!! LOL
ReplyDeletedon't need'em anymore
ReplyDeleteThe female knows the male will eat the babies after she gives birth.. So she hires herself to put a hit out on the male!
ReplyDeleteb/c if you're a spider that's all the males are good for, i guess.
ReplyDeleteLONG LIVE WOMEN...........SPIDERS!
