 | | When sexually mature, a male spider will spin a web into which the contents of the reproductive organs are discharged and then transferred into the cavities of the palpi; when an individual secures a mate he thrusts the palpi one at a time into her genital openings. | | | Male spiders use modified palpi to convey seminal fluid to the genital passages of the female. | | | Silk can be used to aid in climbing, forming smooth walls for burrows, coccooning prey, and many other applications. |

| | Jumping spiders may lurk in ambush for their prey, and a number of them are well camouflaged on flowers by color or body structure or both. | | | The body structure of a spider is similar to that of other arachnids in being divided into an anterior cephalothorax, or prosoma, and a posterior abdomen, or opisthosoma. | | | The bite of some large spiders can be painful, but most species are too small to break human skin, and only a few are dangerous to humans. |
