:yuck: We get these awful looking creatures around here. They don't seem to build webs...they HUNT! And they're just a bit too big to stomp without making a mess.wolram said:I like spiders too, except those big bodied squat leged ones that seem to eat other spiders.

Spiders typically mate in their natural habitat, such as in trees, bushes, or on the ground. Some species may also mate in a sheltered area or inside their webs.
No, different species of spiders may have different mating behaviors and preferences. Some may mate in the same location every time, while others may vary their mating location depending on environmental factors.
The timing of spider mating can vary depending on the species, but it often occurs in the late summer or early fall. Some spiders may also mate during other times of the year if the weather and environmental conditions are suitable.
Male spiders will often use pheromones or vibrations to attract female spiders. They may also use visual cues, such as bright colors or elaborate dances, to court potential mates.
After mating, the male spider may leave or be eaten by the female. The female will then lay eggs, which will hatch into spiderlings. The spiderlings will eventually grow and go through their own mating process as adults.
