A pair of Tylorida ventralis spiders from the family Tetragnathidae or big-jawed spiders. This species of orb-web spinners is rather usual for arachnids in that the females, unlike most spiderwomen, do not see their mates as a post-copulatory snack and actually initiate love-making! Resting on the underside of a sprig of sedge, this lounging couple is probably taking a breather from an all night bout of humping before a new session of web porn, or rather the unsatisfying-sounding act of placing one's spermatozoa into the palp before inserting the latter into the lady's cavity. Maybe that explains why MJ is such a sourpuss...
