Arachnophobics beware !!!
I had noticed this spiders egg a few days ago. It was in some Johnson grass in our field next to home. I walked by it a couple times a day. I was really thinking that the mama spider would reappear and pose. I have very few spider images. This morning I found this little dark mass in the web and on closer inspection, I discovered we had a hundred or more baby spiders crawling about. The egg is about a 1/4 inch in diameter and in the second photo you can see the hole in the egg from which they had hatched.
I was fortunate that I photographed them when I saw them. A couple hours later they were all dispersed doing whatwver little spiders do to survive.

This is amazing! Luckily, spiders don’t bother me….but snakes…a WHOLE ‘nother animal!
Thanx S, I am not real scared cat about them either, but I did keep my eyes on alert. I was about 1-2″away from this herd of little ones and I was afraid the mama might come charging out after me. I watch too many of those safari type adventure things. Seems the mama just lays the egg and sez “you guz are on ur own”.
