Strange lifestyles of spiders

Males eat their offspring, live in groups like families or know how to divide work, share feeding places are special and strange lifestyles of spiders .

1. The male spider eats the female spider

Usually the female spider will eat the male spider after mating. However, there are about 20% of Micaria sociabilis spiders in which males often chase females. Males often eat old females and forgive young children who are more fertile.

2. Spiders eat moth spider meat

To ensure the survival of the young spider, the mother spiders of the Amaurobius ferox species will donate their lives to the children to eat.

Another species of spider with similar behavior is Stegodyphus lineatus. After giving birth, the mother spider feeds her baby for 2 weeks with nutrient liquid. When the offspring are older and need more nutrients, their food now is mother spider.

3. Living as a family

Spiders Amblypygi like to live together as a family. When separated, the spiders will find a way to return to their group. Members of the Amblypygi spider family often take time to caress each other and take aggressive actions against other spiders. According to scientists, this way of life can help them avoid the risk of being attacked by enemies and allow the mother spider to protect them.

4. Male spider protects child

In some spiders, the male will be responsible for protecting the nest when the female lays eggs. The task of the male will be to limit the invasion of ants, build nests and clean up mushrooms. Scientists believe that male spiders responsible for protecting the nest will have a higher chance of survival than other males, because they can escape the enemy from the mucus that the female secretes.

5. Reasonable work division

To survive in nature, Stegodyphus sarasinorum has a way of organizing living areas through the delivery of member spiders, commensurate with their own personality traits. After testing and analyzing experiments, scientists found that more daring and daring spiders will be tasked with examining prey caught on the net.

6. Attract your partner through gestures

To impress and attract objects, males of wolf spiders often create special movements such as raising, raising their feet. This method is most effective in areas where the leaves are thick. In addition, they can copy the mating behavior of other males to increase their chances of success.

7. Other spiders live together

Very rarely other spiders species live together. However, scientists discovered two different species of spiders originating from the genus Chikunia that can live together in a collective. They do not feed together, nor do mating, but the purpose of this lifestyle is to support each other to take care of their children.

8. Share where to feed

At night, Araneidae spiders often spread spider webs to catch insects. If another spider comes close to sharing the hunting ground, the spider will chase it away. However, if the good positions for hunting have been taken over, a spider can share its 'business' with other children.

9. Giving gifts to maintain survival

In the world of spiders, females often eat males after they mate. To maintain survivability, the male Pisauridae male spider will give children a gift of insect carcass wrapped in spider silk. They hope their children will be satisfied and not eat males after mating. However, gifts are sometimes just hollow insect carcasses or things of the same size wrapped with spider silk.

10. Blood-sucking spider likes to stay in dirty socks

Upon detecting a mosquito that absorbs human blood, the blood-sucking spider Evarcha culicivora attacks and catches the mosquito quickly. According to scientists, this is a spider species that selects prey based on its prey source. Accordingly, this spider likes to find places where people smell smells, like used socks. Scientists hope this research can be applied to reduce the number of mosquitoes that transmit malaria.
