| The spiderlings of the horned baboon spider only commence moving about 50 days after hatching. |
|
| The number of live emergent spiderlings was used as a measure of fecundity. |
|
| As the spiderlings mature and begin to mill about, the mother becomes strangely subdued. |
|
| When the young spiderlings hatch, they climb onto their mother's back where they live for the first few weeks of life. |
|
| Before molting, many spiderlings hang by the claws in some inconspicuous place, although mygalomorph spiders turn on their side or back. |
|
| They then spin a web to surround their eggs and guard them until the spiderlings have all grown and dispersed. |
|
| Eggs hatch within several weeks, and the spiderlings disperse into the water. |
|
| On occasion some spiderlings fail to molt, whereas others undergo delayed molts, perhaps because of faulty hormone balance, and may die. |
|
| The spiderlings leave the mother after their second moult. |
|
| Successful suitors, then, succumbed more often than unsuccessful ones. The crucial finding, however which makes sense of all the others was the success of the spiderlings. |
|
| This will be her sole brood of hatchlings, and she regurgitates 41 percent of her body mass to feed her spiderlings. |
|
| Many spiderlings eventually disperse by ballooning, usually in the fall. |
|
| After hatching, wolf spiderlings, usually numbering 20 to 100, climb onto the back of their mother and remain there about 10 days before dispersing. |
