According to msnbc.com: "Male nursery web spiders sometimes "pay" for mating using worthless gifts, with a new study finding the gals are not impressed with the empty offerings. These gifts serve as decoys: Worthless bits of flower, cotton or ant husks wrapped in silk that serve only to distract the female while the males have their way. Another trick? If not satiated, males play dead until the female thinks she has gotten away, and then he wakes up and grabs her for another go." This is 100% unacceptable sexual abuse and it must be stopped. If these female spiders were humans there is no way we would be tolerating this. END FEMALE SPIDER RAPE THEY'RE NOT JUST ARACHNIDS, THEY'RE MOTHERS, DAUGHTERS, WIVES, AND SISTERS.
