If you read the paper cited in this article by Herschel nowhere does it say that male spiders have to drum the right message in order to mate with female spiders. It in fact says that male spiders drum to signal other male spiders and the author does not state that male spiders eat other male spiders if they don't "drum right". The author states that very little drumming is conducted between male and female spiders.

German Article

For some reason the German version of this article has much more material including pictures and english language references http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leucorchestris_arenicola We need to get some of this into the English version of the article.

I was able to add the references form the German article, but I haven't figured out how to add the image

http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Datei:White_lady_spider_namibia.jpg

It doesn't look like you can reference an image from a different language version of wikipedia directly, and I hesitate to reupload it without being sure, even though the German page indicates this image was released by the author under the "Creative Commons" license. I don't know German, but the google translation of the page seems pretty clear on this point.

Thats right. The photo is free for usage on all wikipedia sites. I helped the photographer (Thomas Mehler) to publish it on the german wikipedia pages. Too bad we can't use photo cross-language wise.
