A doting parent

This little lady is a Wolf Spider and the white ball behind her is her nursery, shes going to be a mummy :) Wolf spiders are hunter, they dont weave webs and prefer to live solitary lives tracking down food. This species of wolf spider doesnt get very big. This one was only a couple of centimeters big. I only noticed her because of her egg sack behind her. Theyre a good spider to have about as they prey on Red Back Spiders and other bad news bugs. They are also a good encouragement to wear gloves while gardening.
