A wolf spider may only grow to be an inch, but it has a unique way of being horrifying. Unlike humans whose babies can't even walk when they're born, baby spiders can crawl from day one. When wolf spiders hatch they climb up to the backside of their mother's abdomen where they hang out for a few weeks throwing raucous parties and generally acting belligerent. Freaky pictures and videos below.
Pictures of the spiderlings are mildly terrifying, but seeing them in motion can trigger bowel loosening. All those creepy crawly creatures sliding all over each other, hatching a plan to bite you as you sleep alone in your bed. Don't worry though, they're not poisonous and you're not sleeping alone, the spiders are there too. Crawling up your thigh. You're welcome!

Well, mom scorpions do carry their youngs similarly, too.
I don't know what it says about me, but I think it's incredibly adorable.
I guess I have weird motherly instincs.

What's not so adorable is that the babies eat the mother alive for sustenance not too long thereafter.
