article: Killing a spider is one thing but seeing hundreds of babies explode from its body afterwards would freak out anyone. This was the case in Hallett Cove, South Australia, when a man smacked a huge wolf spider as it scuttled across his kitchen floor. He got the shock of his life when he squashed the hairy beast with a broom, only to see hundreds of baby spiders came crawling out of the mother and spreading out in all directions on the floor. A female wolf spider scuttles across a kitchen floor in Hallett Cove, South Australia . The house owner is not too happy and promptly gets out a broom to get rid of the hairy beast . ‘Ohhh look at the babies come out of it,’ the man says in surprise. The scene was greeted by the voice of a woman in the background saying: ‘Ahhhhh, kill it!!’ A few more whacks later, and the tiny babies were running everywhere on the floor. But to his surprise after smashing the female spider a few times with the broom hundreds of babies appear . After giving the spider some more whacks for good measure, the man was heard saying: ‘It’s dead.’ Finally the broom was used for what it was made for - sweeping up what was left on the floor. The Australian Repile Park website explains that after mating, the female wolf spider produces a silk mat into which she deposits around 100 eggs. Soon the tiny baby spiders are trying to make a run for it all over the kitchen floor . The silk is then rolled into a protective ball which she attaches to her abdomen and proceeds to carry it around with her until the eggs hatch. After hatching, the babies crawl onto the mother's back and remain there until their fat reserves have been used up and they need to start finding their own food, which may take several months. That is unless the female spider is cracked a few times over the head with a broom. With the spider now dead the man sweeps it up as well as the babies that are spread all around .
