Many spider species exhibit cannibalistic behavior, and some will even consume their own offspring if given the chance. This behavior is more common in species that have limited resources or are under stress, and it can be a way for the parent spider to ensure its own survival. However, cannibalism within a species can also help regulate population sizes and prevent overexploitation of resources.
No, a whippersnapper is not a spider. It is a slang term used to describe a young and inexperienced person who is seen as impertinent or presumptuous.
You can feed a spider 1-2 appropriately sized crickets at a time. Overfeeding can lead to uneaten prey attracting pests or causing stress on the spider. It's important to observe the spider's behavior and adjust the feeding amount accordingly.
Turtles are known to be preyed upon by a variety of predators, including alligators, snakes, birds of prey, raccoons, and humans. They are vulnerable to predation, especially when they are young and small.
It sounds like you might have encountered a crab spider, specifically a mother spider carrying her egg sac. Crab spiders are known for their ability to change color to blend in with their surroundings. The egg sac you saw might appear mushroom-like in shape. It's best to observe from a distance and not disturb the spider as it cares for its eggs or young.
Spiders do not typically take care of their offspring. Once the eggs are laid, the female spider may protect them for a short time, but once they hatch, the spiderlings are on their own to hunt and survive.

The spider is both a prey and a predator. They are eaten as a food source and eat other consumers as a food source.
