CLOSED: HOW DO YOU HELP MOVE A SPIDER AND ITS EGGS

eightofspades Beverly Hills, CA Aug 31, 2008

I was cleaning the patio furniture finally and when i turned over a cushion i had already dowsed with a spray hose and soap found a long legged spider and her eggs. the spider immediately crawled on top of her eggs, and it looks like she is missing a few legs from this experience. she then crawled to the side of the eggs and now is not moving. i feel terrible, as am a big believer in not killing god's creations. the eggs are now vulnerable. if the spider is still alive will she move them eventually? or, if she is dead, how and where should i move them to? i also don't want my cat or dog to stumble upon them. thanks.

if it doesn't move again it's dead. Otherwise you can scoop the two up and place them somewhere out of harms reach. If the mom is dead, like a disney movie, you can stillmone the eggs. They will hatch on their own unless something eats them. It's all up to mother nature, don't feel bad.
