    My son had this incredibly bright flashlight, and one evening he shined it out into the yard and claimed that all the little sparkles we were seeing in the grass were spiders looking back at us. I disagreed and told him they were reflections from dew drops. To prove his point, we agreed on a particularly bright sparkle, and approached it keeping the light on it. Sure enough, there was a spider sitting there looking back up at us. We then proceeded to find about a dozen more. I was totally surprised that every one we honed in on turned out to be another spider.

      Sounds like wolf spiders. They are actually good mammas and they haul their 'lings on their backs until they are old enough to disperse.

    And yet studio execs tell me that my live action, spider based remake of the Minions movie “won’t find an audience.” And “hunting insects is not the same as wacky hijinx.”

    I never thought I’d laugh out loud at the sight of a spider, until today.

    Are these pictures heavily edited in Photoshop or similar tools?

    These look like Zoidberg’s arachnid cousins.
