LOL @ replies in this thread.

A lot of spiders carry their young like that for a while. Its because they are active hunters not web weavers.

Besides, most will die in a month anyway.

QFT... but YIKES.

I went mountain biking on a trail at night one time, I hit a crevice and flipped into a ditch with a spiders nests. Hands went right in. Freaked me out a little, and I kept getting this feeling they were on me or something. <shudder>

I think I ate one of those pods for breakfast. Nice stomach tingles! 😛

What are those pods anyways? Is that something that a cockroach lays or creates, or do they lay their eggs in a plant? I have no clue.

That is what the cockroach lays.
 
If you decide to kill a wolf spider carrying its brood, make sure to smash it and don't spray it with any sort of bug spray! TRUST ME!
 
See that is why texas people are so calm and rugged. They see something like that and get out the camera. Here in NY you get a spider 1/3rd of that size and the fire department is coming. Cold weather>spiders and scorpions. I give a lot of credit to you texans I hate spiders.

Im even scared of daddy long legs 😱

Why not?

I speak from experience: it will take a large quantity of Raid to kill mom. While she is running around wildly, the babies will start bailing out like paratroopers during D-Day. By the time you've wasted a can of Raid, you have a mess of hundreds of dead spiders all over your living room carpet. Smaller ones may not require as much spray, but this was in Las Vegas and the wolf spiders are Chernobyl-sized there.

On another note, one time I heard my cat in the living room making some noise in the middle of night. I got up and grabbed a flashlight to see what was going on. I turned on the flashlight and my cat was standing in the middle of the living room looking at me like "What's up?" Something next to the cat caught my eye...a HUGE wolf spider with it's beady little eyes reflecting the light. The cat took a swat at the spider and I swear that thing jumped up in the air at my cat flailing it's spider-legs all over the place! The cat and I both ran for safety. Needless to say, I hate spiders.
