 The male usually gets eaten by the female. He has sex with her one time and about half the time he gets eaten. He's about half her size. She needs the protein for the babies. So he goes and has sex with her and then she eats him. Well, the male spider ties her legs and puts her in a web before he does that. And he ties up her back legs and everything. And then he has sex with her and he runs. OK, because he's going to jump on him and eat him immediately.
