[QUOTE="Dave Jay, post: 132366, member: 27677"] From what I understand, not that I've looked into it much, the spider would be paralysed, dragged to a 'nest' and then the eggs are laid, so I would think that if the spider isn't paralysed the eggs would not have been laid yet. So to my thinking if the spider wasn't paralysed when she 'saved' it chances are eggs hadn't been laid. I could be wrong, but if the spider is active she might have intervened in time. Edit - according to Wikipedia, the paralysed spider is taken to a nest and then a single egg is laid ON the abdomen of the spider. I had always thought that eggs were laid inside but apparently the larvae burrows into the abdomen after hatching. [/QUOTE]
