The Arachnid Diaries

Few months back, I watched a National Geographic documentary on the life cycle of, if I'm not mistaken, Black Spiders (or something like that). It was quite interesting, especially about the relationship between the male and female spiders.

Mind my fragile memory though. As far as I remember It was about how the male would seduce the female spider with offerings of trapped flies and mosquitoes on the web. The female would then follow suit, eating dinner, have sex, and before you know it the male spider would get entangled in its own web by the female and gets its life sucked out. In short its like coax-date-screw-get screwed over.

The narrator of the documentary made it sound fascinating, attempting to instill shock in the audience for this somewhat peculiar nature.
Peculiar you say?
Well I think it's just err human nature.
