apparently male spiders in many species have evolved a behavior to catapult away from females after sex to avoid getting eaten but then many of these spiders will go back to the same females as before and attempt to have sex with them again 😭
spiders are incredible it’s baffling to me that people hate them. like are you hearing this.
There’s also a group of predatory flies that produce silk and they do the “gift” thing but some males will just wrap up a stick or leaf in so much silk that he’s already gone by the time the female is done unwrapping it
