Hi there,
I love your website, and find myself checking it regularly. I thought you might like a couple of photos I took. When I first saw the wolf spider from a distance I thought, “Oh, my God, something has parasitized this spider.” When I got closer I realized she was carrying babies. She was pretty big as you can see from the standard 8” brick she is standing on.

Hi Grace,
Your Maternal Wolf Spider with her Brood image is textbook quality. However does she manage to control them all? Also check out Grace’s Preying Mantis photo and Walkingstick photo.
