These mothers and Nursery Web mothers always impress me with their sense of responsibility. Nice shots too.

I saw a Wolf spider soon after she opened the egg sack there was a swarm of little ones... both impressing and disturbing. It was years ago, probably decades, napabob, your photos reminded me ... Thank you??
"Females lay approximately 100 or more eggs, which they encase in a silk sac. Wolf spiders are protective of their eggs and, unlike other spider species, carry these spherical sacs on their spinnerets.
When eggs are ready to hatch, the female wolf spider rips the egg sac open in order to release her spiderlings. Spiderlings then swarm the female's body and legs, where they remain for protection. They stay with the female for a couple of weeks,"
