[One of the coolest animated GIFs I’ve seen in a while.](http://i.imgur.com/22bb0.gif) It is, indeed, a mama spider with a ton of little spiderlings on her butt crawling around, in full color animated goodness. The mama’s butt is about as big as an index finger tip, it looks like, and the little babies are just tiny. Cute little babies for the season of rebirth. ---

> [@Derleth](#): > > Thank you. I knew I’d heard of spiders that worked like that, but I couldn’t remember any. No problem. I love the cute little guys (although, the time I accidentally squished a mama wolf spider under my hand, and all her brood went a-scurrying up my arm still gives me a fair heebie jeebie). ---

Warning for people creeped out by spiders with their baby spiders on them and crawling all around - I truly did not enjoy seeing that, and you probably won’t, either. {Shudder} ---
