He died tho
Worth it
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
Man, that's a blast from the past.
*though or *thoe
Ew, no
I wish a goth girl would melt my insides.
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.
Well, where have you grown up? Are you sure you are free?
I live here.
Respectfully, do you recall a source or reference? I'd personally like to know if this another one of those "take for granted" childhood facts
That says nothing about captivity, though.
And no, widows spiders don't always eat their mate, but it common in some species. And often the male is the one initiating it.
The male initiates being eaten?
So... they're vore fetishists?
Not sure how common it with other widows, but the Australian redback male will pretty much shove his abdomen right into the females mouth parts while mating.
But that's when it get's really messed up ... she won't kill him right away and they will continue to mate while he's getting his insides digested.
Seed and feed
Read the article again, it says this is not common to adequately fed females, nothing about captivity.
Some mantids can only copulate after their head has been eaten, their body still is doing the deed while beheaded.
Pretty weird kink.
This doesn't usually end well for the simp nerd.
It's ok, he is into vore.
Doesn't end well for the male spider either.
"I can fix her!"
no point in bulking up to only get eaten after sex
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.
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.
