Male birds are not the only animals that woo the other sex with movement and sound. Male wolf spiders will sometimes lay down a beat for 45 minutes just to win over a female.
By flexing their appendages, shaking their abdomens, and tapping their forelegs, male wolf spiders put on quite the show. And the more elaborate the act, the better., has found males that drum up the most complex rhythms are also the biggest hit with the spider ladies.
In the study, researchers filmed female and male wolf spiders to see how they reacted to meeting one another. The dates took place on strips of filter paper, which allowed the researchers to record the animals' delicate vibrations. The findings suggest male wolf spiders are altering their signaling complexity according to feedback from the females.
