Tidarren sisyphoides:

Tidarren sisyphoides is a spider of the family Theridiidae (tangle web spiders).

The male of this species is only 1% the size of the female. At copulation, the male dies during insertion and remains attached to the female for more than two hours. However, the female does not eat her mate. The dead male is afterwards removed from the web.
