I can post a description on what to expect about the mating ritual in this species, maybe you are interested (my impression is Richprins is somewhat obsessed with this aspect of wildlife biology)

Sounds familiar!


Here, the female may respond in three ways:
- facilitate palp insertion by curling her legs close to her abdomen and staying motionless;
- avoid palp insertion, by running away or
- avoid palp insertion, by attacking the male.

Wynand from iNaturalist (may be the same person who commented here on page 2 ) entered an ID for these two as Stenaelurillus sp., same as we were considering. Should I do an entry as Sten. Sp.; Poss. Sten…; or hold off as entering it? Thanks.
