Đây là một con nhện thợ săn – loài nhện lớn nhất (và có lẽ thân thiện nhất) trên Trái đất.
Khi một trong những người đẹp này quyết định chuyển vào trong nhà, tốt, nó gần như không thể không chú ý. Nhưng đối với một gia đình ở Úc, một con nhện thợ săn trong nhà của họ đã làm nhiều hơn thế.
Cô ấy đã có con. Rất nhiều trẻ em.
The other day, mom Claudia was at home with her family when her daughter alerted her that there was something going on in her bedroom. When Claudia went to check, she discovered dozens and dozens of baby huntsman spiders had hatched near a window — having emerged from an egg sac the family failed to notice.
“It certainly was an unexpected surprise,” Claudia told The Dodo. “We do have the occasional huntsman spider in the house, but I didn’t realize we had an entire kindergarten crawling around.”
As you’ll see, the little spiders made quite the first impression:
Creepy? Not for Claudia. Her reaction to the spider babies was quite the opposite.
“They’re so cute!” she said. “I’m not going to kill them.”
And she kept her word.
Rather than forcibly evict the spider babies (or perhaps do worse), Claudia instead gently opened the window. That way the babies could wander outside on their own.
“We let them be. And they were all gone the next morning,” she said.
The giant spider mom who’d laid her eggs there had picked the perfect home to serve as her kids’ nursery.
“We basically love animals,” Claudia said.
