In NH i stomped on this fat brown spider in the driveway. Off jumped like 300 itty bitty spider kidlettes. Grossest thing I’ve seen in a while. Really freaky.
It’s best to carry a small tactical nuke for that kind of situation. You might have to take one for the team, but war is hell.
Probably a Wolf spider. Mamas carry their young on their backs. I have been warned to never squish one.
That is what flamethrowers are for.
A mama wolf spider, very beneficial arachnid.
Had you not killed her, eventually she would have died and the babies would have eaten her in order to grow up themselves.
A last, infinitely selfless, motherly act.
The babies cannot survive without her final offering of a first meal.
Bummer.
