One time there was 2,001 babies.

She’s going to need some wetnurses. A whole lot of wetnurses.

Is this one of those spiders that let the kids eat her?

Spidey, the least you could do is bring her a box of flies.

The herd usually thins quickly, because they hatch hungry & the nearest food is each other.

I’m sorry, but that is gross.

One time I sprayed a big spider in my garage with bug spray and immediately hundreds (it seemed!) of tiny spiders “exited” from their “mother”! It was the creepiest thing I’ve ever seen. Needless to say, with the bug spray still in my hand, they didn’t live long.

Ew ew ew

Come on spider dude. Let’s pass out some cigars and swill some brandy. This is allllll her. Love ya babe.

(sigh!) … and there’s just gonna be web all over the place!

Wouldn’t this make a great horror movie?

This is a creepy one.

Good luck asking Jameson for that raise, Peter

That might explain why some female spiders decapitate their mate.

This turned into body horror fast

I don’t even want to know what happens to Mrs. Batman

Oh what a tangled web we weave. :)

I think she’s rethinking that nursing thing.

Help me……..

College tuition for 2000, ouch!

Thousands would be a lot of offspring for a spider. Also, I think all spiders lay eggs, though she’s not the one that’s the spider.

Blonde, so I was thinking Gwen Stacy, but her headband implies one of the Spiderwomen, but Jessica Drew had raven hair and Julia Carpenter was a redhead.

Oh Ewwwww

Bleeb wisely decided to be concealed.

that’s not mj!
