Listen love purring wolf spider Bashny.Net

Almost Cotes this moment we can make a purring in my usual spider behavior and no longer wonder, according to a study published in the Journal of Acoustical Society of America, wolf spiders, aka Gladicosa gulosa, talks with potential partners with sounds reminiscent of purring. < br />


course, this is not purring up to the level of your cat, but nevertheless, spider love song clearly audible.



Most spiders are not noisy, and even they do not have ears. And they communicate through vibration. And while the sound from the physical point of view and have vibration, acoustic communication - it is a completely different biological process, and spiders for him there is no physiological basis.

However, they do it! To sing his proclamations of sexual desire, spiders use environment. A male wolf spider climbs on some thin surface, for example, on a dry leaf, and vibrates as long as there is no sound. Female, in turn, responds to this call, while at the same fine surface and picks up the vibration of the male. In a study of females continued to respond to the call of the male, even when he went to the vibrating surface.





Probably, this system is designed solely to communicate with the ladies. Maybe it is purring sounds not too subtly but definitely works, bringing legions spiderlings emerge.
