Male Redback Spiders attract the female by plucking her web and emitting chemicals. The female then devours ‘successful’ males during mating.

Your web I’d like to strum,
Like a harpist having fun,
Watch me roar, I’m all male,
My loving ways will not fail.

I’d like to tug your string,
Just before our fling,
Smell my sweet love potion,
C’mon do the locomotion!

A final tug of your rope,
Just before we grope,
We’re about to do the job,
Why do you open your gob?

Oh…it’s my first time to be bedded,
I’m feeling awfully light-headed!
Light-armed! Slightly shredded,
A little ball in a massive glove,
This is all-consuming love!
