Nice capture Michelle - as Joao has said, it is a wolf spider - a female carrying her babies on her back. The spots of light are eye-shine from the mom & young! I've moved this to arthropods for you.

It's a wolf spider (Lycosidae) due that parental care, but not possible to get to species from these pictures.
