: Considering that the Spider Queens are the only female

Yes, but how are queens bred? Do old queens just give birth to them on occasion? If so, do they war with eachother like bee queens?
The spider who came out of that guy's brain was way bigger than them; we know males are the size of "very large dogs", not bigger than men. Queens are bigger then men, though. So the spider who came out of the guy's brain after his soul was whisked away to spider-land must have been a queen.
Thus, I was suggesting that Queens breed all the little male spiders, like we've always thought; but that a sacrafice is required to make a new queen.
