Is this real?

My Mum was sent this pic (she is terrified of Spiders) and she is not sure if it's real. What do you think?

Could be a mommy spider with baby spiders, hard to tell size without a point of reference thou.

Despite having a tarantula, I'm not a huge fan, but that pic does look particularly grim doesn't it.

The big spider look photoshopped to me, but he babies seem real enough.

I'd probably scream like a little girl... then run out of the house.

Then come back with a flamethrower...

That original picture above is supposed to be from Zimbabwe. They were on the ceiling of the person's room.

More nice pics from that blog:

And a spider bite:

Looks real but I'm sure its somebody's pet, a spider breeder not there by accident.

If you are talking about if the little spiders are real, not if it's that big, then it's definitely real. Looks like the egg sac behind the big spider.

I don't mind them really, in or outside the house, they get rid of the bugs.

You'll be checking your ceiling before you get into bed tonight then

I don't see why it wouldn't be real.

I've had a few baby spider infestations.

Fortunately, spiders and I have an understanding - Don't be weird around me, and I won't annihilate your species

So far it has worked pretty good, though I am struggling to make the same arrangements with Sharks.

I have a similar understanding with spiders. Mine is-I see you, I KILL you. I see you in my house, I KILL you and spray deadly toxins all around my house to kill any friends, relatives, or family members.

I hate wasps personally. But that first picture... if I saw that on my ceiling I'd out of the room sharpish. *looks at ceiling*

Safe for now
