00:04 Here, the heat is suffocating.
00:07 A migal arises from the tall grass.
00:31 This male is looking for a female.
00:33 He is four years old. He has just reached sexual maturity.
00:45 His life cycle is coming to an end. He has only two months to reproduce.
00:50 He has no time to feed and sleep.
00:57 Despite these four lost, the migal does not have a good view.
01:01 But it has other more developed senses.
01:04 These silk threads were woven by a female and are imbued with these pheromones.
01:09 These chemical signals indicate to the male that it is ready to mate.
01:13 The male follows the threads.
01:18 He leads him to the female's terrier.
01:21 [music]
01:29 While the males die shortly after reaching sexual maturity,
01:32 the females live about 30 years.
01:35 The nuptial parade begins.
01:38 The male taps the ground in front of the terrier.
01:41 The female responds.
01:50 The male risks big.
01:51 He observes the female.
01:58 If it does not suit him, she will devour him.
02:03 The female accepts the male.
02:19 [music]
02:24 He flings it from the tip of the legs.
02:26 She spreads her hooks to allow the male to approach more.
02:32 The partners are lined up on their hind legs.
02:35 [music]
02:46 The male injects his seed using his copulating bulbs.
02:50 The female enters a second state that lasts several minutes after mating.
02:58 The male takes the opportunity to flee before she devours him.
03:06 The female will store the sperm for a few weeks or a few months.
03:15 These eggs will only be fertilized at the time of the spawning.
