Thanks Scott. I am guessing the spider must be thinking to herself, "When will I get to stop playing nursemaid to this flock of spiders. They are sooo icky all over my back." Great picture.

😀 Well, spiders will not have arachnophobia. The females of many species are pretty good mothers, and wolf spiders are pretty high up there in that regard.

Wow Scott that’s a photo opportunity I’ll be looking out for …….. if only I had kept her, but that would probably have been a step too far for Mrs B.

I understand she makes a silk nest, lays anything from a few up to hundreds of eggs. She then covers them with more silk and then wraps the whole thing up in more silk and carries it up off the ground to protect it. I think they moult inside the sac at least once and them cut themselves out through holes. Their mother's back ends up covered with babies for about a week. I expect this varies with species, I am not an expert on spiders, I still scream at the biggies. Others will know more than I.
