Oh wow, I've never seen that before! Nature sure can be cruel! I have to ask, and I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but does she actually EAT him or just kill him. Do you leave him in there for her to eat or do you remove him? RIP little guy.

She will actually eat the male...
Not really its very very common with spiders and T's its kind of like a sacrifice for her to feed well. I watched something the other night about a spider that actually specializes in hunting and eating other spiders. The genus Portia but its still sad she ate the little guy

You know when you look at it that way, that's just really amazing. They mate and then he sacrifices his body for food so she has the strength for the babies to carry on the species. Pretty dang awesome if you ask me.Not really its very very common with spiders and T's its kind of like a sacrifice for her to feed well.
