What prop would you choose?

When a male spider reaches his senior years he basically stops eating, drinking or any kind of self preservation, and all he cares about is finding a potential mate.

He goes off in search of a female, and goes onto her web to attempt to mate.

In many cases, if she's unhappy, she may simply eat him.

He will not defend himself, as that would defeat his very purpose in life, to copulate and create offspring.

He will die soon, anyway, so successful copulation then being eaten is a good way to go out.
