    Joke based on obnoxious internet "hot single women in your area". The women have been replaced with firefly pictures from the article, and the text changed accordingly, as if the spiders were running the ads to fool horny fireflies.

    It’s an interesting approach - to hijack the communication of another species against itself, for your own benefit.
