Watched a nature documentary where I’ve seen a lovely big spider mumma offer herself when the time was right for all her lil’ spiderlings infact it’s the ultimate sacrifice, that & being eaten while mating like some other spiders (I think) & the praying mantis. She literally pressed her body down with an obvious method for response locked in via evolutionary instinct or something man it was impressive, scary & sad all rolled into one.
