I noticed a large spider skittering across my driveway the other day. It looked unusually “fuzzy” like its abdomen was covered in ragged fur. So I stalked it until I was able to get some good photos of it.
Turns out it is a wolf spider and the fuzzy stuff are its babies that she is carrying around till they can fend for themselves.
