Itsy Bitsy Spiders!!


One day about a month ago I looked under a log and I found this strange looking thing (shown in the center). I brought it home and put it in a container and waited to see what would come out. I could see there were eggs inside (each is about the size of a small letter "o") but I didn't know what they were. I was guessing maybe some kind of beetle. Every week I would look to see if anything had hatched, and then yesterday I looked and squealed in joy--the eggs had hatched!! All around the inside of the plastic container were itsy bitsy spider babies!! So cute! This morning I took the container outside and opened it up and while the hatchlings began to crawl out, I took pictures until the very last one was gone! What a fun experience that was, and how interesting to find out that spider eggs don't always come in an egg sac!
