Wondered what was going on with these two sac spiders but it did not appear friendly. I eventually realised after looking at the sequence they were mating rather than trying to each other. The male is just about to score a touchdown of his sperm laden palp on her epigyne in the last shot.

Beautiful and amazing details Brian
You certainly captured these very nicely.
Glad you know what's going on as I wouldn't have any idea.
