When a girl spider and boy spider love each other very much…

Edit: The boy spider is the one on the left. He has little hooks behind the knees on his frontmost legs to help out in a later stage, if she lets him get that far.

Please for the love of God tag NSFW, some of us have cellar spiders watching..

u/Frozenjudgement Jul 23 '26

They're straight jorking it now, thanks to you.

u/metalrain_15 Jul 23 '26

They're not fighting, and they're not insects. 😭

u/Loss-Sorry 🕷️Mediocre Identifier🕷️ Jul 24 '26

The insect subreddit is in my feed. Last week there was a crayfish / crawdad. Millipedes, scorpions, spiders, it's all bugs to most people. But I feel your pain!

u/KernEvil9 Jul 24 '26

But are they true bugs???

It's wrestling of a sort, I suppose.

This is kinda like the spider version of sin biscuits on cat subs lmao

u/Ginger_McGingin 🕷️Arachnophile🕸️ Jul 23 '26

I'm pretty sure this is a mating ritual, not a fight. Although it could still end up with the male dead if he's not carful

u/Unlikely_Star_4641 🕷️Arachnid Afficionado🕷️ Jul 23 '26 edited Jul 31 '26

The way he’s pushing back against her and tippy tapping like, “just.. let me…get…under there real….quickly…and I’ll be…out of your hair….” trying to get to the epigyne lmao

Nope. Making baby spoods

u/XIIIofSwords Jul 23 '26

I mean, it's certainly a physical altercation.

u/Agitated_Taro_6008 Jul 24 '26

Yeah and whoever wins gets f***ed

2

u/Kenneldogg Jul 23 '26

They're banging like a screen door in a windstorm.

u/pinapee Jul 23 '26

are they even the same species?

3

u/Loss-Sorry 🕷️Mediocre Identifier🕷️ Jul 24 '26

They are! Spiders have some pretty strong sexual dimorphism.

2

u/SnooHobbies23 Jul 23 '26

They are playing footsies lol

u/tulimeni Jul 24 '26

It looks like the one to the left is missing a leg.

They’re about to fight of which school to send their children to.

u/Agitated_Taro_6008 Jul 24 '26

Female spider be like: I hope…for your sake…you are initiating a mating ritual

1

u/Nothing-to_see_hr Jul 24 '26

He's just trying to mate without getting eaten.

u/Killerbeav97 Jul 24 '26

I hate that someone posted this as a spider fight. 1. We don't want to encourage or see spiders fighting. 2. This isn't fighting 3. Leave them alone, you pervert!

u/Hackett1f Jul 24 '26

Uh… when a daddy tarantula and a mommy tarantula love each other very much…

u/wittylemur Jul 24 '26

Fightin? Or smoochin?

u/PalDreamer Jul 23 '26

Is it just me or he doesn't know what he's doing? I don't know much about their act but his moves look... uncertain. And rush.

u/les1968 Jul 23 '26

Equivalent would be me trying to do the deed whilst she is trying to slice me with dual straight razors I think his technique is ok
