Description
Jolly Telamonia Babies? Taken in Singapore forest at night.Quote www.kidzone.ws/lw/spiders/fact…
Spiders will lay between 2 and 1000 eggs, depending on the species. Almost all female spiders protect their eggs by making a silk ‘bed’ and then covering them with a silk ’blanket’. She then wraps them in more silk to make the egg sac. She hangs the sac someplace safe and guards it until the babies hatch. When the babies hatch they often stay inside the sac to finish developing. Some mother’s stay until the spiderlings leave the sac, others will either leave or die before seeing their babies.

Oh my gosh. Baby jumping spiders. With giant heads.
This should be creepy, but somehow it's adorable instead.

Sweet. And interesting that the bigger front facing "hunting" eyes are still body color.
