Channel Deep Look released a video that offers an alternative view of the behavior of black widow spiders, the females of which are known for their cannibalistic tendencies, reports Rus.Media.

The female of the spider species Latrodectus mactans (black widow) spends entire life, patching up and it builds the same web. It feeds, like other spiders, insects, caught in the net. Males attracted by the pheromones, which are impregnated all the females web, find your beloved and trying to make the other spiders didn’t smell her. To do this, they begin to destroy everything built by hard working spider: spider web snack, mix it and cover their own thin threads, which mask the smell of the females.

In all of this the male takes a lot of effort and time; to engage in the placement of their own networks, he has no time. So he lives long. Its main goal is to fertilize the female; when he succeeds, his resources, usually already over. After mating (and even during) the male is in the female’s jaws; she is digesting it and it provides nourishment to future offspring.

A bully, a boor and a slob, male black widow, perhaps, deserves his fate, a few unscientific concludes the VoiceOver (which is typical, female).
