This type of behavior has also been observed in jumping spiders. In this, the female jumping spider eats her male partner after mating.
You must have heard many times that 'we will give our life for love'. But the creatures we are talking about today take lives for love. These creatures kill and eat the partner they love.
In the language of science, such creatures are called "sexual cannibalism". The surprising thing is that there are not just one or two such creatures on earth. Rather, many such creatures are found in different species. Let us tell you about them in detail today.
Praying Mantis is one such creature.
Praying Mantis is one such creature that first loves its partner and then kills and eats it. Actually, it is said about the female praying mantis that she mates with her partner and then bites and eats it.
After research, scientists argue that the mantis does this because this behavior helps in increasing the fertility of the female. Apart from this, it also increases the physical strength of the female, due to which she lays eggs in a better way.
Jumping spiders do this too
Sexual cannibalism has also been observed in jumping spiders. In this, the female jumping spider eats her male partner after mating. The female spider does this because she does not want the male spider to control her. As soon as a male spider tries to do this, the female spider hunts him. Apart from this, the female jumping spider also does this many times to increase her fertility and for her nutrition.
The same is said for the Black Widow Spider.
Like the jumping spider, it is said for the black widow spider the female of this species often kills and eats her partner. However, scientists say that not every black widow spider does this. This is seen only in some spiders and that too in certain circumstances. When a spider is pregnant, it becomes difficult to hunt it, in such a situation some black widow spiders kill and eat their partner.
