A stunning photograph has captured a wolf spider wearing a hat of her own babies in Maryland. The image, titled"Wolf Spider Mama" was named the winner of the insects and arachnids category of The Nature Conservancy's 2023 Global Photo Contest.

"What’s special to me about this recognition is that this mama spider and her spiderlings were just my neighborhood park," he wrote in an Instagram post after the winners were announced."I wasn’t on a safari nor in the jungles of Madagascar . I was in suburbia."Wolf spiders are unique in that they carry their egg sac on the bottom rear of their abdomens. They can lay around 100 eggs at a time and are fiercely protective of their young.
