I remember a bush outside my window with the spider in it. Green body, orange legs... I watched her build a web all summer. One day there was an egg in the web. After a while, the egg hatched and hundreds of baby spiders came out and ate her.

It's a quote from Blade Runner.

Thank you! I saw people sharing their creepy spider stories and immediately thought of this.

Was surprised when it started gathering upvotes seemingly just because people thought it was just another creepy story.

Seriously?

I was scratching my head because I couldn't think of any green bodied web-building spiders with orange legs that also practice matriphagy ...

You're reading a magazine. You come across a full-page nude photo of a girl.

Wait, no, that was the tortoise...
