I’m back! I didn’t intend to start back posting with photos of spiders, but as it happens, that was the answer to my last post. π
Spiders are interesting creatures. I love that they eat a lot of unwanted bugs, so I don’t kill them. I do shoot them a lot – with my camera.Β π Here is the answer to the last Mystery Photo Friday – along with other spiders I’ve met since then. If spiders aren’t your thing… or you really don’t want to see spiders with babies, spiders having lunch, or spiders having dinner… then I recommend that you don’t scroll down and that you wait for my next post. π I’ll post something prettier next time. π Hope to see you when I post something that doesn’t have eight legs. β€
Mystery Photo Friday Answer – Spider with babies!
A loooooot of babies. π³
Spider having dinner. π³
Spider having lunch. π³
I admit I was a bit startled to find this one. I had my hand on the tire and was rolling it (it’s not on a vehicle) and this spider with its lunch was hiding inside the tire. It came out and almost ended up on my hand. I jumped back and ran to grab my camera. I think it’s eating a pinching beetle? Not really sure. But the spider and the beetle were huge.
See you next time. π
I’m guessing those baby spiders are on the mom? I thought the mother spider died long before the babies hatched. I’ve never seen anything quite like that before.

Yes it is!
I’ve seen Wolf spiders have babies on their backs, but I can’t think of others that I’ve seen. π

To be honest, I’m reading in bed and had to FAST read/scan this post bc the photos were a bit creepy.
But, those spiders are also a wonder of creation and testify of our awesome Creator.
Thank you for showcasing them!

You have some hungry spiders. I wish I could think of running for the camera when I see things like that. I forget and then kick myself the next day.

Yes we do!
Aw, haha, I get it though. And the amount of times I do run for the camera, but by the time I get back the creature moves on… π
