I.Am.Rumpels!

Okay so the other day I was taking the trash out and my nail caught on a spider egg sac!

Unfortunately it split open and all the little eggs came tumbling out and luckily landed in a box.

After getting them all in a glass, I was left with several questions, no answers and guilt! But I asked in a few spider groups and got a tutorial on making a spider incubator!

Sooo! We went through a few different stages of mini Orbeez

And by mini I mean REALLY mini!

But finally we started seeing development!

See the little white dot?! That’s a wee lil baby!

Then more started showing up!

Then the day came!! Little legs started showing up!!

And then!!!

Today I just went to look and!!

!!!

They’re perfect in every way and I love my dumb spider babies. 

This is Joseph. He’s learning to walk properly. 

He’s not very good at it yet though.

Also I’m crying at some of these comments!! They make my heart feel so happy!

I love seeing “I don’t like spiders, but these are cute!” 

and my favorite “I’m learning to love spiders!” 

That’s so good!! That’s so so good, I’m so happy I could maybe change a couple minds about these little darlings. They don’t deserve the hate they get, they’re so tiny and sweet and want to do so much good for this world even though they have absolutely no concept of how much good they actually do!

And it’s wild to know that these guys will take down hundreds of thousands of icky bugs like mosquitoes when they can’t even figure out how plastic works yet. They try to climb, they fail. But it’s okay! They’ll figure it out eventually!
