🐻Mama Bear? How About Mama Wolf!🕷
Spider, that is. I happened across this gigantic (for Tennessee) 3 inch mama wolf spider while taking the dogs for a walk last night. It was right at dusk, so flash was enabled and if you look closely, you'll see tiny flecks of glitter on Big Mama's back. But that's not glitter. It's a thousand tiny eyes of her 'wolf pack'. I never knew they carried their young and cared until a few years ago when I saw a fuzzy one and touched it. The fuzz dispersed and an army of minimamas took to the battlefield. I love spiders. 2 HIVE for any spider picture you took this year in the comments.

Holy wowser! Easily overlooked by the camouflage colorings @enginewitty
I never knew the female wolf spider took all of her babies everywhere with her in this manner.
Pretty impressive maternal instincts! As for your touching one?! Yikes! Did the babies return onto the female wolf spider's back?
Here's the only spider photo I took this year. This one was non threatening so I wasn't afraid to pull out my smartphone and take it's photo! 🕷️🕸️📷
Lovely little black jumpity jumper there! Those are my favs. They get some really neat coloring and sometimes a bright green jade will be seen on their jaws!🤗🤗

Cool photo, especially since you took it at dusk, with failing light & a flash! 😃
I took the below photos back in May of this year, but haven't shared them yet because I'm not exactly sure which of four different species this one might be!
Gonna lean on a sac spider. The abdomen looks pretty keen to that but whether it's long legged or yellow IDK. They come in tons of colors like jumping spiders.

THANK YOU for the 2 HIVE 😊
Thanks for stopping by and dropping some cool photos 🤗
Spiders are our friends 🕷️ or we'd be up to our eyeballs in pesky insects.
I try and start the BBQ they here come all the pests a swarming all over my BBQ.
I don't think I've any Spider piks in my phone, oh well.
Be cool if they were just a tad more intelligent and we could train them to eat unwanted picnic pesties😋
