Female Wolf Spider and her babies on her back
I came across this girl on one of my jobs. Pretty cool 😎

The Wolf spider is a super-mom! She will attach the egg sac to spinnerets and carry the sac with her until the eggs hatch. Once the babies are born they climb onto her back and stay there until they are fully developed, living off their egg yolks (from their egg). This could take weeks. They go everywhere with her, including hunting. If one falls off, mom will stop what she is doing until it is back on top!

I’m always on the lookout for cool insect pics.
