Why do some widow spider 🕷️ males invite females to eat them? #arachnology Nice story by @KatherineJWu, feat. @WidowWeb, @DrCedes, @Sentenska_Lenka, & @DrLSBeckers! photos by @Ibycter theatlantic.com/science/arch…

The Spiders That Choose Death

For some species, getting eaten alive may be a small price to pay for passing on your genes.

Males of the brown widow spider prefer cannibalistic adults over non-cannibalistic subadults! Find out more in our new paper in @BehavEcol. With @Cataranea, @WidowWeb and @PierickMouginot. academic.oup.com/beheco/adva…

Risky business: males choose more receptive adults over safer subadults in a cannibalistic spider

In the brown widow spider, males can mate with non-cannibalistic immature (subadult) females, but they prefer mating with cannibalistic adults, using a mor
