    All loves have to die, of that there’s no help My favourite way to end ’em Is the orb-weaver spider’s, whose pedipalp Enters the female pudendum

    Then dies on the spot, his corpse there still stuck Left for his rivals to curse it He would rather die than not get to fuck Personally, I reckon it’s worth it

    Doesn’t end well for the male spider either.

  After hearing that mantises only eat their mate in captivity, I kinda wonder if the same is true of black widows.

    Not sure on the specifics, but I’ve dealt with my fair share of black widows. Their webs usually contain a shriveled up corpse of a male just kinda hanging about.

    I saw a wild pair of mantids as a child and the female was definitely eating a male.

    Some mantids can only copulate after their head has been eaten, their body still is doing the deed while beheaded.

  You gotta love how traitors will justify anything they want to do by pointing at nature, but as soon as you use an example of females eating males as part of reproduction, then they will just argue.

    Lionesses in heat will bite the nads of their male partner when he’s too tired to perform ( Narrator: She’s not satisfied even after he’s exhausted himself.)

    This is actually a moment for banished males to be welcomed back into the pride, if temporarily.

    Nature is just chock full of realities that don’t fit into the metaphors we want to make of it.

  You should see a male banana spider creeping. Looks like homeboy is coming up behind a dragon.

  Male wolf spiders may hang back and watch mating pairs from the shadows, learning how to successfully attract a mate. Just like us fr

  It’s basically this way with a lot of spiders, let alone a plethora of other animal species. Would absolutely not surprise me to hear that this is the norm in the animal kingdom.

    Even some mammals like hyenas have this kind of arrangement.

  Nerds are not simpletons, the exact opposite in fact. You are not using that word correctly.
