Female velvet spiders exhibit a remarkable type of maternal care unique among arachnids. Upon the birth of her brood, the mother spider liquefies her internal organs and regurgitates this material as food. Once her capability to liquefy her insides is exhausted, the young sense this and consume the mother.

No one’s commented anything that indicates to me whether or not this is real. If so, what’s the species?
It’s called the velvet spider. :)

Any idea what specific species? Looks like there’s a lot of velvet spiders from that wiki.
I updated the comment. Eresidae; Gandanameno sp.
Oh dang, I thought the title was just a cute description.
For the curious, the original text says “cute” in Japanese (the infamous “kawaii”)
こわい
