Description
Hi there.
...and so it continues:
I managed to get a good place to look what's going on there. They don't fight - the darker one was a male spider and the lighter a female. As you can see in zoom - the exchange a little golden drop the male is holding between his pedipalps. The female get close to the male with her abdomen and I know now - they are mating.
I never saw such a scene live with my own eyes - just saw it on BBC-Channel before. I was very excited and happy to see such a little miracle by myself.
Hope you enjoyed the little story. The lower f-stop was a result of the bad lights there - the flash where masked by some leafes I couldn't remove without disturbing that scene.
