Wolf Spider with babies

Edit: Young children view this channel, so please keep comments family friendly - thanks!

Wolf spiders are very good mothers; they carry around their white egg sac in their jaws or spinnerets until the babies hatch, and then the little spiderlings get a free spider-back ride from mom for a week or so, until they disperse to live on their own.

Bites from wolf spiders are quite rare - I have never had one offer to bite when gently handled and not restrained. A large wolf spider has large enough jaws that a bite would be painful, but the venom is not generally considered dangerous to humans, although the occasional individual may have a more severe reaction.

@OtC2471 They have venom, like most spiders, but they rarely bite humans, and if they do it very rarely causes a serious reaction.

Great job keeping these comments non-offensive, Amphibiansunrise :S

If you guys think a small animal carrying cute, tiny little babies on her back is disgusting, you need to go on Google Images and search "gangrene". Maybe that will put things into perspective.

I think this video is adorable 8)

I hate spiders and found this video initially creepy, but the idea of so many babies clinging to their mom and crawling around her is kinda cute.
