I really like these - despite my arachnophobia - especially with her 'posing' on a colourful background like that.

Awesome! Do many species of spiders carry their offspring on their back?

AFAIK just wolf spiders do this but they are a very widespread gound spider family. Other spiders may well stay with the egg sac and then guard the young when they hatch for a period.

Thanks Phil, that's one thing I try to do - keep up with the shots but a lot easier when you are retired

. I find they sort of lose context if I don't process them fairly quickly

These are amazing photos! Remember that wolf spider I caught a few weeks ago? The little gal made an egg a week ago, it should hatch soon!

I still need to get one of those MPE lenses, perhaps next year!

Thanks for sharing.
