Spiders also practice

Hundred or no hand familiar, that is the lesson that every leg spider has absorbed to the heart: Young spiders will "joke" with their partners for a while before their bodies are mature enough. 'that story'.

Anelosimus Studiosus , the common name is comb spider, is the only spider in the world that has a 'real sex practice' style. An adult male spider will hang on the spider's web of a 'juvenile' spider and patiently wait there until the opponent is sexually mature. In the meantime, the male spider will flirt, flirt with the females and sometimes things can go as far as copulating with females, even if the female spider's genital system is still in a 'sealed' state and Inability to lay eggs.

Commenting on NewScientist , expert Jonathan Pruitt of Pittsburgh University (USA) said this behavior is beneficial for both parties. The females are toyed with sex from a young age and will produce larger sized eggs. Males are naturally more proficient and less prone to effort than when not practicing.

However, according to Pruitt, playing with sex also has its downsides, at least with males. To study, he put the male and female spiders together for 4 hours, then added another male spider to the spider web.

The results showed that most of the old male spiders were stifled by male spiders for being more tired.

"Male spiders are forced to balance the benefits of sex practice with the risk of being defeated by another male," Pruitt said. If they are the only male in the herd, they can practice it with each female. But if other competitors appear, the risk of defeat is huge.

According to biologist Elisabetta Palagi of the University of Pisa (Italy), now science knows very little about the sexual activity of invertebrates. In 2006, Palagi found evidence that horned "horny" wasps were practicing for months before actually having sex.
