As you know from my experiences from Weird new pet, despite not being a doctor Dolittle, I have a special bond with animals . Therefore, here is the new discovery that spiders can also engage in bondage in their sex life. Hereby the article:
Some male spiders tie up females before mating
Mating is usually a romantic affair, but with some spider species that kite does not work. Male running spiders attack and tie females to avoid being eaten. "Spiders sometimes spend hours luring females by courting them, but these guys just start biting," said animal scientist Lenka Sentenská of the University of Toronto Scarborough.
Slow motion
So-called running spiders (Philodromidae) are common in Europe, Asia and Africa. In April 2019 Sentenská, then still working at Masaryk University in Brno, studied the behavior of one species - Thanatus fabricii - that is native to Israel. She found that males behaved strangely while mating. The action was over so quickly that it was difficult to observe exactly what was happening. Sentenská and her colleagues brought some of these spiders to the lab. Slow-motion recordings gave the researchers a clearer picture of the reproduction ritual of these spiders.
Bondage
"The male rushed to the female. It was more like an attack, "Sentenská says. The male spider bit the female several times, especially if she was larger and less if she was missing limbs. In most cases, the female was startled, who then pulled her legs in and pretended to be dead. From that moment on, the male spider began to put a few strands of silk on the female's body and tie her legs. Then he mated an average of nineteen minutes with the female before running off again.
Survival strategy
It seems cruel, but it may be the best way for males to survive the mating process. The team noted that some males were eaten by the slightly larger females before they could bite. It doesn't take long for a female spider to dislodge after mating, according to Sentenská. "She jerked a few times, then spread her legs and she's ready to go again." Sentenská speculates that the silk tie may contain a chemical message about how suitable the male spider is.
If she likes him, a female spider may decide to allow the male to mate longer before breaking free.
