Females that cannibalized their mates produced nearly twice as many spiderlings as females that were denied their post-sex dessert, the study reported. The spiderlings also grew nearly twenty percent larger and survived about fifty percent longer than those whose mothers did not eat their mates.
- Science Daily: Ultimate sacrifice: Spider's post-sex cannibalism aids offspring
When you say you gave everything to your children, the male dark fishing spider, along with many other types of spiders, isn't likely to give you much respect. Of course, he's also dead so it's not too important how much respect he gives.
In hearing about this kind of cannibalism previously, my general reaction was, well, I guess it sucks to be a spider. Romeo might have had entirely different thoughts about Juliet if he knew she was going to kill him and eat him after they partook of their time of carnal joy.
Note: I don't think they even had any carnal joy, only a few virginal kisses. In that respect, spiders do much better than they. It was (sob) such a sad story.
(Ed: if you roll "A Rose Will Bloom," I will kill you!)
Awww, it's pretty.
Note: "Romeo and Juliet" was my first fo' real date movie but unknown if any carnal joy came out of it.
(Ed: you seriously don't remember?)
Nope. It's important to understand males don't remember sex beyond the next NASCAR race.
(Ed: you cad!)
Yeah, right. You probably remember the first time you boned since it seems practically everyone does but tell me about the second time, you big ol' mucho macho muchacho.
There's not too much potential for sci fi in this unless we will resurrect Steve McQueen to make a "B" movie piece of cinematic ecstasy like "The Blob" or similar so we can tell the story of the giant cannibalistic spiders who have now taken to eating humans. Aiiiyyyeeeee!
