Very detailed and well lit spider. Love the picture Bob! A little known fact (at least for me)about the wolf spiders is that they carry their offspring around.

Great portrait of that spider... :-) I've never encountered the Wolf spider, nor the kid's carrying part (great picture too). I've however seen what would look like juveniles hunting with Mom.

Bob, that's an amazing job you've done!  Painstaking effort has its rewards.  I am so glad I'm not a small bug about to get attacked by that thing.  :-\
