he was very very small, white, and had a spiky butt. i found him under an old cushion outside that had become one with the bushes. there was quite a few of them but after a couple minutes of being in the light they dipped

could’ve been? idk, i know jack about bugs 😭 but you very well could be right. thing is, all of the ones i saw had the white butts. is it possible a bunch of them with eggs would be together like that?

Hmmmmm probably not, I’d look up white spiders and see if any look familiar. The color description is unique enough to weed out the common stuff. Are you absolutely certain it was a spider tho? Did it move like a spider, did it have 8 legs, etc.?

i just assumed it was a spider, but it could’ve been something else. sadly when i googled the description of it, nothing looked familiar :( i just wanna make sure nothing venomous is in my yard, esp since i have an outside cat
