Two steps forward...

Mating

I consider myself quite fortunate to have photographed this as it was all over in seconds! It’s a bit confusing but the male is on the left. You can see a couple of the female’s eyes looking out from behind her legs on the right. Once done, the male abseils away asap before it becomes lunch!

The extra shows a bit of very tentative foreplay. The male is in danger of being mistaken for prey at any time.

Better large, unsurprisingly enough!
