Wolf spider with babies

[fishman10]

I absolutely loving seeing these. Ive come across about 5 of these mother wolf spiders carrying babies. This one was in my pool drain. I tried really hard to remove her from the water without disturbing the babies but it didnt work out. She lost about half the babies when I got her out.

Great pictures. With all of the wolf spiders I have seen, never was there a monther with babies. I'm jealous!!

GREAT photography!!! I see these every year around this time, usually in the garage or the kitchen if they make it that far. At first they look like a giant spider with an extra large body, but it's almost creepy if you disturb them. You bump a big spider and thousands of tiny baby spiders drop off and start running for the hills. Thanks for sharing the great photos.

Yeah but if you arent ready for it and already dislike spiders it can really freak you out :/ haha

I really look forward to finding one with babies one day! That is great you were able to get them pics.

Wolf spiders are one of my fav's and I have handled quite a few large ones and never been bitten...they settle down after a couple minutes and will relax nicely on your hand, just be sure you stay close to the ground in case they decide to spaz out and jump off!
