Family fun time… All aboard! ⚓️ #insectthursday #spiders #macrophotography

A mother wolf spider carries an egg sac until the spiderlings hatch. Once hatched, they climb onto her back and stay there for a few weeks while they develop. This image shows the tiny brown spiders riding on their mothers back. The mother is brown on a light tan sidewalk. image
