Awesome Carol!
You could also add this to the Brooding Behavior in Arthropods mission!
No, definitely not that. Wolf spiders have this kind of striping and are known for carrying their load of babies around on their back. But thanks for the suggestion! :)
Your information actually helped me and I somehow ended up finding the correct ID. Pennsylvania Grass Spider. (The babies, spiders legs and egg sack with virtually identical to mine.) Thanks! It was a great find for me. :)
Yep, I'll agree with wolf spider. Amazing timing! We found this one a couple of days ago...

No - the stripes say Wolf Spider. I don't know what kind, though, and it seems that it can be hard to tell. I'm guessing Rabid Wolf Spider but for no good reason except it seems I most often see photos of them with their babies like this.
Nice find!
Small WONDERS, Could you take a look at this spider? Is this like yours or a Grass Spider. Thanks so much! Still unknown.
