its been cold and rainy but a couple days ago it turned spring.
i noticed these spiders mating but the wind is really blowing
so i was happy a few turned out
Image #3 really shows the male's pedipalp attaching his sperm sac to the female genitalia.
Black pedipalp and brown sperm sac
Incredible shots. Thanks.
Thanks to the Macro Section on UHH I find myself into spider porn. Thanks Douglass for encouraging me.
Wow. Excellent shots. I was confused since it looks like the spiders are head to head and shot #2 looks like someone lost their head. Nice and crisp. :thumbup: :thumbup:
It is interesting to learn how well all the little critters are designed - ain't nature wonderful.
