Instead of using their spinnerets to spin webs, the female wolf spider will use them to attach egg sacs to their bodies. When the spiderlings are ready to hatch, the female makes a tear in the egg sac and dozens of young spiders emerge. They scramble onto the female’s back, layer upon layer, where they stay for at least a week. After that brief brooding period, spiderlings will move away from the female and begin hunting on their own. #OutdoorOklahoma #nature #spiders
