GOD Bless

No I did not... So a female Wolf spider only gives birth once in their life and then are eaten? I thought they only carried their babies around for a few days and then off they went...? I'm gonna have to dummy up on my wolf spider knowledge. :tongue3:

Hey Chris... I looked around today and all I could find about a female spiders young eating the mother was something called a "Black Lace Weaver Spider". But I did read that female Wolf Spiders live several years and males typically 1 year. But I totally admit I am NOT a spider expert nor claim to be either.

I can understand this happening. The female does not give milk and I can't see her going out for food to bring to the nest.
