A tiny mummified slug.

Hi, thank you, I'd like to you ask you about cellar spiders, please. I don't like to disturb them, and I enjoy having them living in my apartment. But I can't tell if a couple of the walls in my room have eggs all over them or not. I don't know how to put them outside or if they'd survive. It would feel wrong to disturb my friend's nest. But if they have babies, won't they be EVERYWHERE? Do you have any suggestions? Specks could be something else, are dark, not white.

Hi, when the spiders hatched in my room, there were not a bunch everywhere. I'm not sure what happened to them all. Some of them died in the mother's web and a few dispersed in my room, but it hasn't bothered me. If you are worried about disturbing the mother's nest you could relocate some of them after they hatch.

And two little hummingbirds appeared in the nest this week!

This daring hummingbird decided to produce offspring right above the asphalty water sump in Pit 91. We are going to try to get cardboard underneath the nest when they are ready to fledge. Lets hope they get flying right the first time!
