Shivering the sight of a mother wolf carrying piggybacking herds on her back

The mother wolf spider on the back of dozens of young hatchlings walked miserably on the ground creating a macabre scene.

Wolf spiders usually carry eggs in silk pouches under their belly until they hatch. The offspring then speak on their mother's back until they are old enough to hunt for themselves.

In safe places, the mother wolf spider will let her cubs down on her back. When sniffing is dangerous, the mother spider will call the cubs to come back immediately. When the cub returned, the mother continued to move to another location.

There are many species of wolf spiders around the world. Many adult species can reach up to 4 cm in length without legs.

The bite of a wolf spider causes slight itching in humans, but an allergic reaction to their venom can have disastrous consequences.

As adults, wolf spiders are solitary predators that rely on camouflage and speed to defeat prey instead of trapping silk threads. They have great eyesight at night.

Wolf spiders can live on average for up to a year, sometimes up to 18 months, according to National Geographic. They mainly live on the ground and adapt to a variety of terrain around the planet.
