She ate him, anyhow. |
Cellar spider, female, with male (see his big pedipalps in that package). |
Or maybe it was not bad luck; he was being the ideal father, sacrificing himself, even to his precious body fluids, to ensure the well-being of his children. She will now lay her eggs, strong and healthy, nourished by all that nutritious spider juice.
He's a hero!

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.
Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
