I’ve been despairing — I never get good egg production over the winter months. Today, though, one of the black widows surprised me with a big ol’ egg sac. I’ve been trying to make them think they’re vacationing in Florida in July, and I guess I fooled one, despite it being November in Minnesota.
You know what this means? I’ll have a swarm of baby spiders in December! And you know what that means? All my friends and family are getting black widow spiderlings for Christmas!*
*Not really. I don’t know that they’d properly appreciate a pet spider.
Are baby black window spiders poisonous? Asking for a friend.
If the were poisonous, just don’t eat them.
If you meant venomous, yes they are. But their fangs are too small to penetrate human skin.
You want one?
It ain’t Christmas without a faintly luminous green egg sac! But I am thinking in terms of the Ungoliant offspring.
If you still have Facebook and know what Benadryl is used for, you will get the joke…
