Female St Andrew’s Cross Spider practices sexual cannibalism. Only the fittest males can court, mate, and then evade the female. They are only found in Australia and live in the margins of the rainforest. With long legs but a small body, the female spider waits for prey upside down on her web, with her legs are arranged in pairs, resembling a diagonal cross.
