OMG!! You just keep your wolf spider down in your yard. I mean, I like them and all.. but that is just too much!
Great camera by the way. And you are going to get yelled at for saying 'bug pics' and not warning folks about a spider + 1,000.

That mama spider looks kinda ...grumpy...to me. Maybe she feels like her children are a burden to her? LOL.

Photos like this are the ONLY way to look at spiders up close, IMO. Cool pic.

The camera is a compact Sony (6 megapixals) with the macro (little flower icon) turned on. Nothing special, just the ability to focus really close. I am surprised I have never seen the wolf spiders with babies before. I believe they only stick around for a few days so I guess it is a yearly event that would be easy to miss.

Yeah... don't think about this pic tonight as you slide your legs down into the sheets.
And that is my happy thought from me to you today.
