Love the shot....its really a difficult thing to catch them doing....I've only caught a MM twice.

@cold blood thank you! It was very interesting to watch. He's a good old boy. Attitude notwithstanding.

Do all male tarantulas make a sperm web when they become mature? Oh and very cool photo too!

@BCspiderman7 Yes, as that's how they transfer sperm to their palps before mating. You are lucky if you catch them in the act. (They typically destroy their sperm webs when they are done.)

@BCspiderman7 thank you! @Ungoliant answered your question. Sorry this somehow got lost.
