Lycosidae female carrying young

Original - Female wolf spider carrying her young in an egg sac

Reason

Good quality and EV. She was so well camouflaged that I could only see her when she moved. And even then, I lost her after a few shots

Which leg/in what way? --Childzy ¤ Talk 14:03, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Rear two are most obvious. Looks like some stacking artefacts to me. Noodle snacks (talk) 23:54, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

• Support per above. Noodle snacks (talk) 23:54, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
• Support - scary as all hell. Looks like there are some focus stacking issues, various bits of sand which are inexplicably out of focus (and especially around the rear left leg), doesn't really detract from the image though. Stevage 02:41, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
