It’s apparently a wolf spider covered in babies. Beautiful macro photography and a great-looking bunch of arachnids. I love spiders.
Great photography, beautiful creature, etc. etc.
I’m here to watch the nervous breakdowns.
What part of those pictures is supposed to be cute? “All those legs, aaaaaaaahhhh.”
That’s not how you spell “Argh!”,
I only looked at a couple, but lovely pics - will look more at home. It takes forever to load pics on Citrix.
Wow, they’re just so neatly packaged there on her abdomen. Does she corral them, or do they just know where to go? (Maybe they’ve been disruptive and had to go to alphabetical seating.)
All of the little babies. Tiny little legs and abdomens and eyes.
Ur phobia. Let me show u it.
Individually, I understand all of the words in the OP, but combined together like that? Does not compute.
Why did I click? WHY?
I do not like wolf spiders. I do not like wolf spiders. Ever hear a grown man scream like a girl? That was my husband when he pulled back the covers to get into bed and found the wolf spider had climbed in first.
I did see a clump of baby spiders on one of my potted palms in the back yard earlier this summer. They were teeny. When I blew on the clump gently, they all spread out, then gradually regrouped. That was kind of neat. Now they’re gone. They’re bigger and I don’t know where they are. They are probably conspiring to get even bigger and crawl on me.
Why are spiders creepy? Other bugs aren’t creepy. Some bugs are cute. But spiders. Shudder. Useful, bug-eating spiders, but ugh. And your damned webs. I’m always walking into your damned webs.
It’s an uneasy relationship, the spiders and I.
Ah, the beauty of nature at it´s fullest; a wonderful, vibrant display of life that fills one with…
Awww fuck it…
Rolls up newspaper
SPLAT! SPLAT! SPLAT!
DIE YOU CREEPY MONSTERS, DIE!!!
Amazing! I’ve never seen anything like that!
I love spiders too.
Excellent. I shall be using these pictures to discipline my children (“Do as I say or - see these spiders? - I will drop them into your mouth as you sleep”).
Ex-cellent.
Some months ago, I was sitting at my desk, much the same way I am now and you likely are, too. Fiddling around at my comp as I am wont to, probably surfing, probably working, well, more probably surfing actually.
Thus, largely oblivious to the goings-on around me, I suddenly felt a tickle in my beard. Then movement. A strange crawling sensation.
With the lightning quick reflexes of a three-toed sloth in the midday heat of the jungle, I swiped the side of my face in a brushing motion, in order to get rid of whatever nuisance there might be. Sure enough, something was swiped out of my facial underbrush, and landed on my desk with an audible tup. A rather sickeningly audible tup, in fact. That something was big. And had too many legs. And scurried across my desk. Fast.
And it had been in my beard.
Now, I don’t really fuss much about spiders. I’m not particularly afraid of them, nor grossed out. I can tolerate them, appreciate their usefulness in pest control, even. But I don’t really like them, either, and I am firmly convinced that there are places that should remain spider-free at all times. Under the bedsheets. Under toilet edges.
And certainly, at all times, there are to be no spiders on my face, in my beard!
After that incident, I was shaven clean for the first time in about ten years.
Anyway, nice pictures!
I agree with this. I like them, and let one live once. Two hours later, I turned my head to see it in my hair. I still don’t remember how I covered the six feet of space between my desk and the opposite wall, after I did the icky dance.
Another spiderphile here. Just a few weeks ago I rescued one from the pool with the skimmer. I didn’t realize it was a mama until I tapped the end of the skimmer to dislodge the poor wet thing and alla the bebes scattered. Kinda woke me up first thing in the morning. 
Spiders are way cool. Those pictures were awesome. Mother nature is quite remarkable.
AIEEEEEEEEE
Oh, awesome pics! Teeeeeny little baby spiders! Yay!
If I saw that in person I’d scream and run like a little girl. But as pictures, they’re rather cool. Far too many baby spiders for my comfort, though!
Spiders are fine as long as they stay out of my way. If they want to live in my house, they’d better hang out and eat bugs in out-of-the-way spots. Should I see them, that’s it. I live in a log cabin, I know they are there. If they are outside, I may scream and run but I won’t harm them, because they’re not in my house.
Don’t mind looking at the pics, but I’m sorry, that is horrifying. If I saw that in my house, I’d burn it the fuck down.
