Apparently they hatch and eat all the insects. And they are adorable! They are the cutest little critters. They hold their food tenderly in their little hands as they eat it. Yes, I not only love spiders but other insects too. Good thing I married Peter&#8211;he grew up with insects&#8211;his dad was an entomologist.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My beauties ready for their evening ballet performance at the Kelowna Theatre.
