Ok, so now that you’ve shuddered after imagining all those babies on her back making a run for it, you probably don’t want to read further about the Wolf Spider. So I’ll let you look it up. I will share that my husband found her, we all paraded out to see her, because, wow, and my youngest, upon seeing it, said “We need to move.” Yes, the spider was on our house, hanging out in the shade of the honeysuckle (the bricks are 2 3/4″ tall high). I took the image with the longest lens I have, and although I wanted the image to be sharper, no way was I going to piss her off by getting closer. Sleep tight! (And as a final note, wolf spiders are a beneficial species, so we just left her alone.)
