She has eaten him.

[TheLastTrainForTheCoast]

My rather splendid female spider has today eaten her mate.

I am a little sad, they have been sharing a web for the last couple of weeks, I was beginning to think they had a Understanding . But alas, today Mr spider is no more.

For reference they are not pets, rather squatters that inhabit my ceiling.

Came here to say this 😂

Ooh did she eat him whole?? I walked in on a lady the other day who’d spun a guy up and was holding him like a burger with her weird little teeth in him. I assumed they just sucked out the insides but I didn’t stick around to watch

Those little skinny clear spiders look dead,most of the time, but I'm currently watching one getting quite the workout as it's being buzzed by a gnat.

Nah he's out there somewhere darking on somebody's washing

He's legged it.

I can see new MN advice…. never mind LTB it’ll be ETB (Eat the B*stard)

🤣🤣🤣

Noooo. He’s wiping his willy on it!

I mean, chances are that she bit it off anyway

Shall we call her Lorena?

Nooooooooo 🕷️ 🕷️ babies are SO cute. Henry's don't enjoy them anyway!!

🤣😂

How exciting, babies! 🕷️ 🕷️ 🕷️

He probably didn’t do his share of the web, and instead of LTB, she ATB.

😂😂😂 best comment of the day....

We had baby 🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️ in our bathroom as I like to have 🕷️ lodgers too. I sadly missed the ritual slaughter of their DSF but I can confirm they do all seem to disappear off very quickly! I wonder if they are worried that DSM might get hungry again....

So much easier than burying them under the patio.

Does she know how hard life is as a single mum? Hope she’s not expecting to get social housing with 100 babies 😬😂

She was probably sick of him spending all day in the web.

😂

'Spidersnet' full of 'Eat the Bastard' advice.

I really couldn't manage mine in one sitting. Must be at least 10 days worth there.

Rather like the Mumsnet chicken.

Opizpu could be planing the mumsnet chicken method with hers, (all alongside massive salad)

I sympathise with her . Hopefully she will be judged fairly by a court of her peers

Brilliant! 😂

Well many spiders do this thing where the male's 'penis' breaks off inside her 'vagina' and stays there doing its thing... so she'll have something nice to remember him by :)

Nono, baby spiders are so cute. They are very tiny, the first day their legs are all wobbly like toddlers, then in a couple of days they are teenagers and they all leave home (I watched a mummy spider guard her eggs for weeks and didn’t tell my husband where so he couldn’t get them!)

I'm not convinced that having a whole family of spiders living inside Henry is an idea that is going to end well.
