🕷️ Spider Mom 🕷️

in STEMGeeks3 months ago

I don't usually do photo posts as I am not much of a photo guy but I came something interesting today and I wanted to capture it.

A cute mother spider carrying her eggshack!

I strongly resisted my primal instincts to kill it with fire or squash it with my feet, took some more photos and let her do whatever mother spiders do:

Dunno the exact species and too lazy to really research, I think it's a wolf spider, after some quick checking I think it might be in the hogna genus. Not much of a spider expert so don't take my word on it.



Anyways, I checked up on her after about half an hour but she had left, probably for a more cozy place :)



In other news, I"ll be spending the next year closer to nature so expect more of these kinds of spots. Insects have always been close to my heart. Yes, I know. Spiders aren't insects. Fuck you.

Dude! You really should have knocked that thing out of your wife's hair before taking all those photos. Rude!

Lol! Yeah and fuck you too. Nice post though. I'm not a spider fan to tell you the truth but even I couldn't have hurt that mother spider. It's great you picked up it was a pregnant mother spider, I don't think I would have noticed that. And you even got your camera out to photo her - you old softy!

I love little critters 😄😎

!pimp

Heck I also had to control myself the other day...

I let it go some distance away from the house.🤣🤣

Cute 🥺🥰

My interest in spiders is only expressed in nature, but when I see one at home, I don't consider it a guest who needs to be shown friendliness, I rather become an ill-mannered thug who kicks the poor spider :)

Nice of you to decide to show us, it was quite a pleasurable sight.

Man, fuck our instincts sometimes, I get the feeling to kill stuff like these too when I see them and I always have to call myself to order before I can let them go. Why are we so evil? 🤣🤣

I was mostly joking. Mostly

I don't think I have ever seen spiders carrying an egg sack before. It's rare to see. Then again, I doubt that I would check a spider much at all even if I did smash it.

This is the first time I have seen photographs of a mother spider.Thank you for sharing these beautiful photographs with us. lately I'm teaching my son not to kill spiders in the house, but to catch them and put them outside on the terrace. These photos will help me convince him that they also have a life

lately I'm teaching my son not to kill spiders in the house, but to catch them and put them outside on the terrace

I do that too :)

Trump saved some babies, good job! I never saw this in person, but if so, I'd let her be for sure. We always tell our daughter that the spiders are cool because they take care of the mosquitos lol. I prefer spiders over mosquitos any day! But if they are too big, my boyfriend should catch it first and take it outside lol.

!PIMP

That's what I teach my son too. Spiders good 🥰

!pimp

It’s carrying a bigger sack than you……🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
!pimp

It's true! 😄
