Roman Willi (Switzerland) documents a rarely seen moment between two mating spitting spiders.<\/p>

Roman kept returning to this spot, keen to document spitting spider behaviour and share the wonder of arachnids. They are ‘misunderstood,’ says Roman, and ‘need our help in conservation’. Roman’s perseverance was rewarded when he witnessed this rarely observed scene.

Spitting spiders are named after their behaviour of squirting a sticky substance at their prey to immobilise it. To mate, the male loads its two pedipalp appendages with sperm. The female rises and the male inserts these into the genital opening on the female’s abdomen. The female can store sperm for several months before laying eggs in a cocoon, which it then carries until the eggs hatch.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDie Teilnahme an der Preisverleihung \"Wildlife Photographer Of The Year\" im Natural History Museum in London war ein Traum, der in Erf\u00fcllung gegangen ist. Ich f\u00fchle mich geehrt, Teil dieser einzigartigen Auswahl an Bildern zu sein. Ich bin unheimlich dankbar an alle, die ich getroffen habe. Mein Bild in der Ausstellung neben dem Siegerfoto von Karine Aigner zu sehen, war eine surreale Erfahrung. Ich m\u00f6chte allen Gewinnern gratulieren und hoffe, dass die ausgew\u00e4hlten Bilder positive Ver\u00e4nderungen im Naturschutz bewirken werden. Ich glaube, dass wir als Tierfotografen eine entscheidende Rolle beim Naturschutz spielen, indem wir all die unglaublichen Kreaturen zeigen, die auf unserem Planeten leben.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t
