How do black widows have babies?
The male black widow approaches his mate with caution, inching slowly onto the web towards his intended target. As he moves closer to the female, he taps his legs in a courting ritual to entice her into accepting his attentions. If she decides to acquiesce (instead of having lunch) she will stay still as he crawls onto her larger body and begins inserting his sperm.

Why does a diving spider surround itself with a bubble in the water?
Diving spiders make a sort of "diving bell" underwater. They live in there, so they need to fill it with air so they will have something to breathe. The spines on their body can trap air, so they rise to the top of the water, do a sort of somersault to throw themselves above the water surface and right back down into the water. When they come back under, they are covered in a bubble of air. They swim down to the diving bell where they shuck off the bubble of air. If there still is not enough air in their diving bell, then they may go back up again for another bubble.
