Summary:
Unlike many other species, male hunting
spiders do not use chemical signals such as sex pheromones to attract a mate.
Instead, they make their mark by uniquely exploiting a female hunting spider's
interest in food. Research now shows that male hunting spiders wrap morsels of
food in their silk and offer these as gifts to prospective mates.
