Close up to nature! It’s not always cute and fluffy :)
"Argiope argentata” or "Silver Argiope" spiders mating on Saba!
The female is the big one. The male fertilizes the female by rubbing his “sperm glands” (that you can clearly see on the video as the 2 brown sacks below his head) onto the female stomach. Then she eats him! It all happens really fast, less than a minute.
The large thing she’s eating first is a bee. She sucked all the inside out and then shook the empty shell off the web.
