The Sacrifice...

This big momma hangs under my porch light, making easy meals out of the moths. This is at least the second male that she's decapitated while they're engaged mating - these males make the ultimate sacrifice to pass on their genes!
That is quite some pic ! Love how she's looking at you as if to say 'yer and ' 😆, so cool you get these in your garden/porch.
As for that poor male at least he got to forfill his goal before she ate his head, 🤞 his sacrifice pays off
 
i heard some males only really start going for it AFTER being irrecoverably wounded

smart ganglia i'd say, what a life...
