SpidersIs this a wolf spider?
I thought this was a tarantula but my friend says its a wolf spider. It was about 3 to 4 inches wide I would guess. And I think that those are babies on its back. What is it?

Hi Tanya,
You are absolutely correct. This is a female Wolf Spider and her Spiderlings. The mother carries around her egg sac first and after the spiderlings hatch, she carries them on her back for a short period of time before they disperse.
