COIN SPIDER ( FEMALE )

When i looked at the bark of a tree,i spotted something moving and it was a spider that perfectly camouflage with the Mahogany bark.It has a small rounded web attached to the bark,served as its resting place to wait for prey.There is a very interesting fact about this spider.Male Coin spider cuts its genital while it is still inside the female during mating.This is to ensure that no other males can mate the female.Sounds greedy ah! But it is the way a male Coin spider ensures that only his genes will be passed to next generation..
