Title: No "Wham Bam Thank you Ma'am" for these guys!

Sneaky Black Widows Slip Past Death

"New research shows that male suitors of a female cannibalistic spider risk facing a premature death unless they perform an adequate courtship lasting a minimum of 100 minutes."

And they're damned if they do, damned if they don't ...

"Further, the research shows that "sneaker" males can slip by and mate successfully on the courtship efforts of the hard-working first suitor."
