Whats the principal role of the sperm web ?

The male will deposit the sperm into the web as drops. He then "sucks" up the drops into the tips of his pedipalps and goes off to have some fun with a female
And he piled upon the whale's white hump, the sum of all the rage and hate felt by his whole race. If his chest had been a cannon, he would have shot his heart upon it. -

Not straight after a moult, they are empty. He'll fill them from his sperm web, and then refill after each mating.And he piled upon the whale's white hump, the sum of all the rage and hate felt by his whole race. If his chest had been a cannon, he would have shot his heart upon it.Comment

Say the male doesn't mate, will he build another web to replace old sperm (if it actually goes off)?Originally posted by Neil RichardsonComment
