I should have known. OMG disclaimer! :(

[Asha]

A warning might have been nice.
But yeah. Should've known.

Wolf spiders are pretty cool when they're carrying their young.

Ugh, I hope he took a can of Raid to it after shooting the picture.

I had some trouble killing a relatively small spider with Raid. It tried to run off and just slowly starting to curl into a ball and cease movement after a few seconds.

That thing would eat your can.

[Asha]

Raid + lighter.
Only way for spiders. I had to use this time honoured technique 3 times just now already.

So glad I read before clicking.

One time, I opened the french doors to my deck, and this wolf spider ran inside the house. While I was looking for a large object to suitably trap the spawn of Satan in before I found a suitably burly male to dispose of it, my male cat came to my rescue by stepping on it and holding it in place. I found a bucket and was going to trap the spider under it, but my cat had other plans. As I approached my hero, he swooped down and quickly took the spider in his mouth. Eight little legs were wiggling between his lips. I continued my approach, thinking to make him drop the spider, when lo and behold, my fearless hero SWALLOWS THE SPIDER AND SPITS THE LEGS OUT ON THE FLOOR.

The End.

I counted ~40 babies (going by the wave of fluffy green abdomens.)

And to think we gripe about triplets :yawn:

[Artha]

It gets easier and easier for the first few babies. After you've popped out about two dozen, you don't even feel it anymore.
