Spiders I live in N. Las Vegas, NV and see lots of bugs and spiders here…I have never seen anything like this one though, can you tell me what it is? Many thanks.

Hi DC,
This is a female Wolf Spider with her Spiderlings. After producing an egg sac, the female Wolf Spider drags it around everywhere she goes. Once the eggs hatch, the Spiderlings climb on her abdomen and ride for several days, eventually dispersing. Her mobility allows the Spiderlings to disembark at different locations. It is great the way the electronic flash of your camera reflected off of the mother’s eyes as well as the Spiderling’s eyes.
