Is it possible for spiders to lay eggs under your skin?

Can spiders lay eggs in the skin?

  • Answer:

    No, there is not a single spider known to man with an ovipositor (the bodypart that places the egg) adapted to lay eggs under the skin of a living animal. Some spiders lay eggs in dead insects, so when the spiderlings hatch, food is readily available. There are however other arachnids (mytes) that can burrow into skin (usually the sole of a foot when the animal treads on the myte) and reproduce there. No. They lay the egg sag within the web.
