‘Field’ Arachnid-ing(?)

Hard to get a closer picture without a macro lens on hand, but I found the smallest jumping spider I’ve ever seen in the “wild” on my Euphorbia trigona Rubra.

Found this mommy out running around tonight. I think it’s a type of wolf spider.

Awww, look at all the babies! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: Very cool find.

Could be a wolf spider, although fishing spiders and nursery web spiders also carry their babies on their back like that. You can tell them apart by the arrangement of their eyes. I think the eyes look right for a wolf spider, but since I can’t see the front of her face, I can’t be certain.
