Mom spider gets squashed, dozens of babies scurry out

You know those nightmares where you kill a spider and suddenly dozens more appear? That nightmare was real for these people.

YouTube user Danny Ford wrote that he spotted the massive wolf spider Australia. He and his companions turned on the camera thinking they would just be killing one big spider. What they got instead was many, many spiders.

"We got a bit of a surprise when I squashed it with a broom as hundreds [sic] of baby spiders came crawling out of the mother," Ford wrote.

Indeed, when the broom comes down on the arachnid, countless smaller versions go rushing from the spot where it was squished.

A male voice remains relatively calm during the ordeal.

"Jesus, look at all the babies!" he can be heard saying.

The mama spider is smashed a few more times, just for good measure.
