Re: Giant Spider with About 1,000 Babies
Although that thing makes my skin crawl, and the hundreds of babies makes me shudder (I love babies, but NOT spider babies), I don't like the fact that our first reaction is to want to kill it. It can't help the fact that it's a spider. It is just living it's life. Why do we all fear spiders so much? I know for me it's because they 'scuttle' and can go absolutely anywhere. Under your bedding. Behind the curtains. Up the walls. On the walls. On your head, They are just so scary looking. But I try my best not to kill them. If I can move them I will. If not, then I am not going in that room till they have disappeared. Out of sight, out of mind. |

Re: Giant Spider with About 1,000 Babies
Ok for starters the spider is called a Wolf spider, it is a female. It is no where near as big as it looks, they grow at most 1.5 inches in length. And the image is actually upside down, it was posted that way for effect and nothing more, what looks like architrave is actually scurting board (the edge between the floor and the wall). Wolf spiders are night hunters and only come indoors after heavy rain or high heat, they carry their offspring in a sack until they hatch then they carry them on their backs until they are old enough to fend for themselves, this mother would have left very soon after the image was taken. |
