Ultraviolet Light Is Key to Spider Mating

And in jungles all over the world, the coming of the black lights symbolises a time for… love.

Jungle shrieks and squawks segue into groaning saxes and pumping rhythms, Barry White love-making music. Uhuh, you hear what I’m saying woman? Do those legs go all the way up? All eight of them, all hairy eight? mm-hmm, woman!
