Go away already - Phidippus phoenix - male - female

Go away already - Phidippus phoenix - Male Female
San Diego County, California, USA
March 30, 2005
A male and female a minute after mating. It happened so fast, I was surprised that the female didn't want to try again. She must've had no hope for this guy. Too bad for her that they're all that way. Maybe she should've tried to cross-breed.

Good joke on the cross breed!

Don,
