The majority of spiders encase their eggs in sacks before letting their young hatch and go it alone. not the wolf spider, though. We salute this remarkable arachnid for winning the title of mother of the year for spiders worldwide. The wolf spider is the only species of spider that travels the world carrying her eggs, which are securely attached to her abdomen in a smooth bundle. Depending on the temperature, the eggs hatch in 9 to 27 days, and the spiderlings cling to their mother’s back until they are large enough to go food hunting on their own. The adorable babies are being cradled by their devoted mother in this close-up photo.
