There are spiders that make "silkhenges" - silk structures fencing in a single egg so that the hatchling can have food to eat. http://mysteriousuniverse.org/2016/12/mysterious-spider-creates-stonehenge-of-silk/

And a spider that basically liquefies its insides for its hatchlings to feed on, and she can even halt the process early enough if she detects a threat: https://www.wired.com/2015/05/absurd-creature-of-the-week-barfing-spider/

lol what the hell


In case you like stuff like that, and just in case you didn't see it, Wired has the Absurd Creature of the Week article. The archive's here: https://www.wired.com/tag/absurd-creature-of-the-week/

Wired got really inconsistent (I haven't read it in a while, since that ridiculous 'article' about different colors of beach-washed glass shards), but their creature features are amazing.

Wow, that is some awesome stuff. This would definitely be extremely interesting to read. And a new one each week! I'm glad I was able to see this. Thanks!
