She-Wolf...with Young

Uploaded: October 29, 2008

Description


During the early stages of life, newborn wolf spiders hitch a ride on their mother's abdomen.
She will protect and defend her brood until they are ready to fend for themselves.

Thanks Chris, Carolyn, Dominick and Liz.

Wolf spiders are fascinating creatures.
They are accomplished predators within their realm and the females, as parents, are competant and effective in sustaining their continued existence.
