| Description of life cycle and mating behavior | Members of the class Arachnida are gonochoric and most are oviparous. Sperm transfer may be direct (presence of copulatory penis) or indirect (via spermatophores). Precopulatory courtship ritual is practiced wherein females respond to certain stimuli such as chemical, tactile or visual signals from the males. |
