5 of 5 Openning of a Black Widow Spider egg sac!

5 of 5. Go to 3 of 5 to see when egg sac gets open. Pulling open of a black widow spider's egg sac that's about to hatch over 100 spiders.. My 7-year-old daughter Leslie did the recording, I apologize for the shaking and lack of zeroing in on the main subject at times. It's amazing of how many baby spiders fit inside the egg sac, which is a sphere less than 1/2 inch in diameter.

Do the children eat the mother? Also it looks like the mother is destroying the web that the children are using. Cool vid

They wouldn't dare!,.........once hatched, the little spiders ate each other up, until they all dissapeared! I'm sure mom ate more than one, although i was feeding her insects so she wouldn't have the need to do so, but she still ate some.

Yes, for some reason, i did notice mom destroying the web, maybe it was a tactic she used to 'control' her out-of-control newborns? I'm glad you liked it,

thanks for your post.

I guess i hadn't seen it as being creepy......that should make my kids extra proud of me! I'm glad you liked it and that it caught your attention enough to place a post. Thanks for your positive comments.

I really enjoyed this 5 part exploration of the reproductive process of an arachnid. :) Are you an arachnologist or just a collector?

I love watching spider videos and things like that but when it comes to personal contact...I tend to shy away. Thanks for the interesting post!

I'm just a novice fan of spiders and thought this would be a very cool thing to do w/ my now 8 year old daughter.

Thanks for finding this videos interestesting.

My wife caught a beautiful widow today in our garden. I have her in a mason jar right now observing her web spinning. Really messy web they make.

@realtoruben hi, lol. yeah i have this old van outside in my driveway that i haven't driven in years because it doesn't work. At night while playing basketball the ball rolled under the van and when i went down to get it, i saw like 6 black widow spiders, they were huge and fat, at night. when i went back during the day they weren't there, they only come out at night I guess. Any idea of how to catch one lol? they look cool and when i saw them i freaked out lol, props to you for being tough.thnx

[delightracardeanne]

I FEEL THEM, THEY'RE ALL OVER ME NOW, AHHHHHHHHH!!!! *SCREAMS* ... I'm okay. Yeesh, this is so gross, I need to take a shower now. Did you kill the mother after? What was this all about?

If mama isn't happy, nobody happy.

This is so interesting! You did a good job on opening the egg sac. I love spiders! Someday I want to do the same as you did in these videos. :)
