An update on the baby spiders! :)

Original post here: I failed to consider the miracle of life

So we last left off with me disturbing a spider egg sac, capturing momma and releasing her outside, but still being forced to find away to contain the plethora of baby spiders left in her wake. I found what I believed to be the egg sac, and sealed it in a jar to keep the babies safe before I released them into the wild.

When I previously made the post, only one or two babies had emerged.

A week later, I am 100% confident that I found the egg sac, because the jar is filled with possibly a hundred baby spiders that are very confused as to why their webs are not parachuting them off into the horizons.

.

I decided to keep the egg sac there for the moment to keep the babies safe (since I removed them from the mother spider that defended them). Then we keep getting flood warnings from Hurricane Ida and rain as well. I’m waiting for a safe blue sky to release them into the wild.

.

I have also gotten a second glass jar in search of other momma spiders that I will capture with their egg sac into the hat until l can safely release them.

From a distance, they look like tiny mouse droppings in a jar. I won’t sugar coat it. But when you get an up-close look at them, they become ADORABLE!!!

I apologize for the shakiness. I sometimes get uncontrollable twitches, that can mess up a video or a picture.

But you can see their wittle legs as they crawl about their tiny wittle webs!!!!

My hand and leg was crazy twitching when I tried to take this, but I kept it because you get a much better view of the little baby spiders!

Final video, with commentary this time! I love these spider babies, and I’m sad to see them go. But I’m also SO EXCITED for the spider adventures that lie ahead of them! 🙂

There’s a reason my text layout includes the little dots and extra paragraph breaks. If you’re interested in the reason behind this, I explained it here.
