Did You Know Spiders Die After Laying Eggs?

Some female spiders, like the Sydney funnel-web spider, may die after laying eggs or after caring for their young. This is often referred to as "maternal sacrifice." The reason is that females invest so much energy into producing and caring for their young that they die after the process.
