Tigrosa grandis Wolf Spider Breeding Behavior (Read Description)
Like 1 Dislike 0 Published on 7 Oct 2013
This is the first pairing of my Tigrosa grandis wolf spiders. The darker one of the left is the female while the one drumming is the male. He tried to entice her to breed outside her burrow but failed. They eventually mated inside the female's burrow. This video shows the drumming behavior of the male. I apologize for the bad camera and the darkness. Likewise, this maybe the first time ever that this species has been caught on camera while expressing breeding behaviors.
