Field Notes

Description:

The ground color is yellow, with brownish to black longitudinal stripes. This shy spider does not have a web, but roams to hunt its food. The female carries the egg sack near her rear and when the babies hatch they ride on her back.

Habitat:

Why is this wolf spider smiling? She and her babies were just rescued from the pool skimmer :)
