It's body was about the same size as a large paper clip and with its legs extended it was about the size of a large lid to a jelly/jam jar. I imagine it must have snuck into the house the last time I went out earlier, because I'm sure I would have noticed something that size before. Edited December 30, 2023 by Bill W 2

The mother allows her babies to suckle blood from her leg joints until she has weakened and (usually) dies. This prevents early cannibalism between the spiderlings and thus resulting in more of the clutch surviving.
