With countless thousands of Wolf Spiders running around in the grass it takes a real stroke of luck to capture the moment that Richard Duhrsen witnessed last week. You will often see the females running around carrying a white egg sack securely attached to their abdomens. However what we have here is the moment not long after hatching when the minute spiderlings clamber up onto their Mum's back for their first ride through the world. this had happened so recently that the spent egg case is still actually attached!
