Title: Wolf spider babies hang on for dear life Written by: duddy on Mar 27, 2013 (https://biology-forums.com/gallery/47/4_27_03_13_10_00_36.jpeg) (https://biology-forums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=11506) The wolf spider is the only species of spider that carries its offspring this way -- live, hatched and wriggling on her back! After a gestation of 9 to 27 days (dependent on temperature) during which the eggs are carried around in a silk globe attached to the mothers stomach, the offspring hatch and climb on to her back. They stay there until they're ready to hunt alone. Comments: this is pretty interesting. arent there other insects who have similar kind of lifecycles ? Written by: Testman on Mar 28, 2013 |
