Watch 1,000 baby spiders devour their mothers and aunties alive in stomach-turning, first-of-its-kind footage
The spiders in question are Stegodyphus dumicola aka African social spiders.
I couldn't find a link to the video in the article itself so here it is. Discretion is advised - it is fascinating and horrifying at the same time.

First-of-its-kind footage?
There is plenty of videos of that. Here an 11 year old one.
The article is a bit sensationalist, but I think it's the first time for this species.
No, that specific species has been filmed engaging in matriphagy before.
But I guess it's the first of it's kind narrated by David Attenborough!
Thanks for the link! I overlooked your body text at first.
I was going to make some kind of Silksong joke but like... This is more intense than the game.
