Has anyone pointed out that it isn’t an insect that made it?
You are even more pedantic than I. 
Yeah but you are a friggin plant!
In my own defense[sup]1[/sup], I didn’t know it was a spider when I posted, and I wasn’t about to list all the types of creepy-crawlies it *might *be in the title.
[sup]1[/sup]I’m not an entomologist. As far as I’m concerned, in a general conversation, anything with more than 4 legs and an exoskeleton is an insect or a bug. 
while true, that sounded more exciting than saying, “we’re waiting for the eggs to hatch.”
suggests the carnivorous plant.
… who then found two teenaged members of the expedition having sex, and ate them.
I think you’ve misspelled a word; either they’ve gone to Croatoan, or the Croatians have taken them.
One little mistake…well, two, I guess, technically.
So it was a cute little spider. That will grow up to be big enough to eat a whole human a la Arachnaphobia [I don’t know, they didn’t show an adult, just the baby.]
Those things are just the protrusions into our dimension of vast hyper-intelligent pan-dimensional insectoid beings, who are preparing to take the final readout of the data from their great biogeological computer, which we call Earth.
And then they will shut everything down.
>>Burp<<
Excuse me?
Updates! They still don’t know what kind of spider it is, but there’s tons of speculation along with confirmed sightings in multiple other countries.
“Silkhenge”…I like it!
Bolding mine … I have this wild mental image of teeny tiny cowboys with little horses and lassos doing a tiny spider drive … :smack:
And a little more information on Phil Torres’ page. If I read it correctly, this is the first known spider species to lay a single egg per egg sac, as well as being one of the few to abandon the egg once laid.
ETA: Ooops. Not Phil Torres’ page. A page on the Rainforest Expeditions web site, article *written *by Phil Torres.
Video footage of a hatching…
Did I need to Spoiler-hide that link?
–G!
Cribellate Spider-man
does whatever a spider can
spins a web on a log
makes a popular science blog.
Perfect fence, tiny tower
Made by some sort of unknown power.
Though we don’t grok it yet
It’s all over the Internet.
Aliens? Earth’s revenge?
What made this little silk Stonehenge?
What does the Straight Dope say?
Work of nature, or NSA?
Finally, we realize
It’s made by someone who dines on flies.
At his scale, widely feared
Humans just think his crib is weird.
LOOK OUT, Cribellate Spider-man!
HERE COMES, Cribellate Spider-man!
Sailboat, I’m bumping this just so more people can read that. (And hum along … )
Dear Og its a Chtorr!
