baby spiders...

a couple of weeks ago a spiders egg hatched somewhere in my bathroom. i was pretty disgusted by this until i began looking at all the little spiders crawling around (there weren't that many of them actually, not the 100 that had i heard there should be on average) and i realized that in general baby whatever of any species are harmless... and at the risk of sounding like a nerd, kind of cute. then i realized that despite the foul odor that characterizes my bathroom, it wasn't exactly swarming with insects to eat. but then i thought, those little bastards couldn't eat an insect if they wanted to, they're too small. then still standing there and pondering, i wondered, what the fuck do baby spiders eat then? they have to get bigger to trap anything substantial in their webs, and to get bigger they have to eat...so what the fuck do they eat? any zoologists or avid zoobooks readers out there that know?

well i'm wondering if they eat microscopic organisms, are the vegetarian when they're little, or even omnivorous? it would be cool if they had some sort of internalized sustinance that allowed them to survive and grow for a while...

Well spiders dont really chew their food when a bug is caught in the web they bite it to inject venom and then wraps it in silk web.Then the venom turns the insects insides to liquid and the spider drinks this liquid so im not sure how baby spiders do this or if the mother feeds them or what

the mother definitely doesn't feed them. and i doubt that spiderlings are herbivores or omnivorous... i bet they just eat smaller insects. like mites and stuff perhaps.

 
haha, i should get the gw award this week, i called baby spiders vegetarians instead of herbavores

I thought I'd look it up.... so i guess they just grow quick enough and do just what adult ones do. not surprizing:

'The baby spider is soon able to spin its own web and capture its own food. It does not have to be taught. This comes naturally. Just like when you learn how to crawl or walk when you were a baby.'

 
yeah the girl i'm seeing right now...well there's this massive spider in our living room and were all about to kill it... the girl picks it up in her hands...all the rest of us are moving away from her in case it jumps out of her hands and flies in our mouths...its crawling all over her hands and she just walks outside and lets it out onto the ground and the rest of us are all looking at each other with our mouths hanging open like we just saw a dead person...its amazing how much people are terrified by spiders.

i hate spiders. when i mow the lawn, theres always tons like bigger than quarter size near the shed crawing around, some inside a little play house that hasn't been touched in years, all along the pool cover, near the filter, and all along the back part of my deck. theres webs from the trees to the pool too. i hate them. theyre pretty big too.

i used to be terrified of spiders. i wouldnt go in my room if there was one in there. now sometimes i'll let one take up residence in the corner of my room... or i'll pick them up and put em outside. Unless they're dock spiders in the canoe at my cottage.. then i usually squish it with the paddle.

 
I donbt that baby spiders eat a whole lot. What probaly happens is they eat each other as they die, or are dieing from starvation. I know that some species of spiders lay their eggs inside other insects, like grasshoppers, so when they hatch there is food a plently for all the babies. But most baby spiders probaly dont survive, probaly like 2% will reach adulthood.

^ i'm pretty sure they don't eat eachother as they die, except the instances where they're laid on other insects.. because as soon as they hatch they go 'ballooning' and fly off to their own place to spin a web. i think they're just mature enough when they're born to make a web and catch insects.

 
I have a sick baby spider story. It was when I was living in the Dominican Republic. Down in the DR there are BIG ASS spiders. I am not talking 'quarter size out by the shed', I am talking salad plate sized. They would get in our house every so often and if they bite you, the flesh just starts to decay until you have a gaping hole in your skin. Well, we used to kill them using air soft guns. It took like 7 direct hits to the thorax to kill em. So one night before I got home, my roomate saw one of these spiders on my celing over my bed. He just did what we normally did and got out the gun and shot it down. What he didnt see was the huge white sac hanging off of her ass that contained hundreds of baby spiders. I walked in the room just as he shot it and once he did it the spider exploded and all of these baby spiders rained all over my room, especially in my bed, dresser, closet, clothes, everywhere. I spent about 8 hours with a sandle killing all that I could see. I slept outside on a hammock for a whole week after that.

Worrying is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do, but in the end, it doesnt get you anywhere. Write that down.
 
wouldn't you be likely to be bitten by a spider outside on the hammock anyways? hah i would've slept in my parents bed for a week.

 
FUCKING HATE SPIDERS MORE THAN ANYTHING! climbing in new england doesnt help this at all. yeah spiders everywhere on the rock. i hate reacing up into a crack and geting a big hand full

yah.. some spiders do that, but not all spiders spin webs... Some spiders just jump on stuff and eat it. Stuff like other insects, mice and frogs. There are some spiders in my backyard that take out frogs... its kinda distrubing when you think about it.

survival of the fittest, baby spiders like many other insects are caniibalistic. They nurture themselves by eating aweay the sac the came out of, and then resort to killing eachother off. In different situations spiders may hatch inside a different insect (after mommy spider paralyses and 'impregnates' it so to speak) and they will consume the surrogate mother. Thats what i think anyways

You don't get to choose how you're going to die. Or when. You can only decide how you're going to live. Now.

We're just two lost souls swimmin in a fish bowl, year after year. Runnin' over the same old ground, what have we found? The same old fears. Wish you were here.

 
ahhh fuck i hate spiders! burn

Just like hamsters. We had 22 of them starting with just 2 and they eventually started going cannablistic on each other eating themselves.

adult hamsters are very territorial. Mother hamsters often also eat their babies after they're born.

Yeah but after a while, we lost track of the mothers and babies, they where sooo inbred it was like a mini Hillsborough.
