You know they come in both flavors, right?

Yeah of course but it's weird to think of a male spider kkk maybe because of the "widow" thing idk

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yes, but most males don't spin webs, so a "web designer" spider is far more likely to be female.

Oh I'm aware, that was just pointed at the fact that spiders aren't monogender lol. No Asaris here.

I know this book gets recommended at every opportunity around here, so continuing the tradition: Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky is a wonderful sci-fi novel that (among many other things) explores the gender roles of spider society.

The ones that build webs are. The males of orb weavers/cobweb spiders wander from place to place, always on the move looking for food and sexy ladies.
