Watched this male orbweb spider for quite a while trying to get the attention of the rather large female by attching a thread to her web edge and then bouncing up and down. Eventually the female went over to near the web edge (#1) and the male then very cautiously approached her, got within foot touching (#2) but then the female lunged and the male bailed out on a safety line. Never actually seen a successfull approach by a male. I guess at least he lived for another try.
