What is this spider doing??

[Thunderpunt]

What the actual fuck is this beast doing? Please don't tell me that white ball thing is going to explode with millions more of the same??

Yes it's her eggs 😊 she'll look after them until they hatch

She’s a wolf spider and that is her eggsac. She carries it around until the spiderlings emerge, then they all get on her back and she carries them around until they are ready to disperse and go their own way. They are wonderful mums!

Oops, scrap the wolf spider but - just realised she’s holding them at the front! Wolf spiders attach them to the underside of the abdomen. But it is a mum and her babies-to-be.

I clicked on the thread thinking, "well really what are the options here, it won't be kntting, but who knows", I was not surprised!

I'd be moving out.

Aw look at her being a good mama! Please just leave her be.

I would leave her be, they get rid of sooo many bugs in the house.

As long as they dont crawl over me or the bed, I ignore them.

You're going to be a spider godmother OP...

Ha! That's made me smile..... With all those legs she could knit something incredible

Thing is she's in my bedroom and I can't stand the thought of waking up next to her and her offspring on my pillow. Problem is she's so high up i can't reach her to move her even if I wanted to. Think I'll go to a hotel until she's birthed the million or so babies

You need a spider catcher, I got one from Aldi with a long handle and gentle stringy things on the end that pick them up carefully and then you may deposit them in your neighbours garden and tell them how lovely it is inside their home

I believe house spiders will quickly die outside ?
