A friend told me after posting the picture. I just thought it was a cool looking spider. I had no idea those were babies when I took the picture
I figured it out when I had one on my porch and went to scoot it off with some mail. As soon as I bumped it about twenty little spiders fell off the back and started scurrying around. I had no idea all the little light colored bumps were spiders. I had to look it up afterwards and see the wolf spider with and without babies.
Mean looking spider. How can you tell it is carrying babies?
Very cool. Mom carrying all her little ones.
