My Button, my pet common house spider, seemed to care about her offspring.

Jumping spiders are the most wonderful arachnids, ever.

I had a family of Jumping Spiders who lived on my kitchen windowsill.
I caught flies for them and they learned to rush out whenever I was near their window, in hopes of a supper, taking the flies right from my fingers.
Sadly, daddy long-legs spiders moved in and ate them.
:(

*Footnote: Now the daddy long-legs spiders have been replaced with house spiders.
Not terribly social but they do a great job with the gnats and fruit flies that often plague us.

I seem to recall that some genetic tricks have been done so that some other organism can produce spider silk which is very strong. Regarding squirrels, we finally live trapped them, drove over a wide bridge and then released them a mile up the road. Have not seen them since.

Nature, red in tooth and claw, and, er, exoskeletons and nibbling mandibles.
We keep house spiders in all the ceiling corners and behind the lizard cages.

Yeah, it’s kind of like that. Drama Queen, my 18-year-old, was raising black widows in the library closet last year. She fed them crickets and earwigs, and they flourished abundantly.

The library? Do you have a butler named Lurch?

LOL!
The “library closet” is not a closet in the library. It’s a closet in which we keep our library books, along with other stuff like baseball gloves and half-completed craft kits.
