♂の飼育容器に未交接の♀を嫁入りさせました。黒い方が♂で茶色が♀。完全ノーカットでお届けします。クモの♂は昆虫のようにペニスで交尾するのではなく、移精器官(触肢)を用いるので交接と呼びます。考えようによっては人工授精を連想させるやり方です。詳しい解説はシリーズ#2で。
Mating behaviours of the jumping spider, Carrhotus xanthogramma. The male is a black one, and the female is a brown one. Soon after introducing a virgin female into the male's glass jar (at 8:53am), they began courtship rituals. The male mounted her and repeatedly tapped the female's body to soothe her. When allowed, he inserted sperm-containing palp into her epigynum from one side and then the other side. Recorded around 9:16am on May 13, 2007 in Japan.
