Female Pisaura mirabilis are up to 15mm in size and males are up to 13mm.
Males of this species offer food gifts to potential female mates.
Males sometime feign death, remaining still while holding the food gift in their mouths.
When the female approaches and tries to take the food away, the male springs back to life and attempts to mate.
