Male orb-weaver spiders have detachable genitals. When they finish mating, they leave it in the female and run, so she doesn’t eat them. The detachable genitalia keeps pumping even after their owner has moved on. Photo : John Tann/flickr

I found this four-spot orb-weaver - Araneus quadratus - in my bedroom after it stowed-away on my raincoat. It's now back in the garden, where it belongs.
