Yeah, it pretty much took him 5 Seconds to pair. I paired twice and the second time was a minute, maybe two.
She cleaned het Epigyne, he cleaned his bulbs and that was enough to give two full clutches by now. Enough for me but i guess there's more comming .

Another good tip at hand is to ensure that the female is VERY well-fed prior to pairing. This reduces the likelihood of the male being seen as a snack, with fullness keeping the female more placated and even slightly sluggish. I also second kingshockey's idea of a good paintbrush, but ensure that the handle is long to ensure you don't get bitten as well when making interceptions--both the male and female might be defensive, the male being worried you are stopping him from reaching her and the female upset that you're stealing her supper. A carefully placed large catch cup can protect the male in one fell swoop.
Sorry about your pal, mate!

Phoneutria depilata

Amusingly, this species isn't even particular aggressive.
