2 spiders before courtship

This is quite a rare picture of 2 spiders before they mate.The small male spider mates with the female,unless he is quick enough to escape the female will eat him afterwards!

How do you know this stuff?...

Apparently the female spider becomes hungry afterwards and the male becomes the target!
