Phlogius sp 'Goliath' from Australia. Three separate matings with multiple inserts on all three over a period of 40 minutes
After the 3rd session the male followed the female back down the borrow and I though that was it for him.
I put the females tank in a large plastic container so that if the male did a runner all he would be able to do is get away from her but not be able to escape onto the floor. I returned after 5 hours and he was alive and well, outside of the females tank but inside the large plastic container. He is back in his tub getting ready for the next session next week (sooner if I see a new sperm web)
