Very nice photos. I didn't know that the female wolf spiders carried their young on their back. Keep up the good work, have fun, and have a GREAT DAY!

Thank you for the compliment!
Here is a link to a video that someone else uploaded on Youtube of another momma Wolf Spider. He was able to get a really nice close-up video of her and her babies:

I agree, it is very interesting to see that a Wolf Spider will protect and take such good care of her babies while other spiders are on their own when they hatch!

Okay, I know Wolf spiders are fairly harmless, but that was just gross.... LOL I hope the snake made a good meal out of all of them. Babies and all! Can you tell I despise spiders? ;-) Cheers.

The spiders are still here, but the snake hasn't returned, maybe the snake despises spiders also! But the spiders still have to be on guard because there are a lot of frogs that come around as well!
