Stages of Courtship Ritual of Spiders, "Can I be your mate?"

Those are the different movements in the dance the male performs to seduce the female and make her understand that he is a mate not a meal! the male puts in a lot of effort. From my observations of this afternoon, I noticed firstly the male had to perform three times the dance before the female even accepted to look at him, she seemed very busy weaving her web. At the third time she gave him a signal through vibration of her abdomen that he would be her mate. Phew I didn't witness murder!
Secondly, when they were done mating the female jumped away from the male and carried on her business. No cuddles! ha!
Thirdly the male being very interested in the female (please let me believe this) decided to give it another go so there he was performing again his little dance, except this time around the female didn't even resist, the male was again successful! Wow he 's got the footwork right!
Finally this entire process was repeated a few more times. They've got endurance those little creatures!
