Description
Pardosa amentata Talbot Heath
These wolf spiders are often active very early in the spring. They can be seen scurrying around hunting for prey and warming themselves in the sunshine on patches of bare soil. Unlike spiders who use a web to catch their food, these wolf spiders catch their prey by running it down.
The female wolf spider carries her eggs in a round sack beneath her body. When the spiderlings hatch from their eggs the female carries the baby spiders on her back until they are big enough to fend for themselves.

cool shot
Excellent details.... well done!
Very nicely saturated colours and capture Andrea!
Wonderful capture
Very nice capture Andrea. I like the color contrast between the green leaf and the spider very much.
This type of wolf spider is not very big or am I wrong here?
Stunning capture Andrea. God bless.
A superb capture of this handsome spider. And an honorable hunter and good parent in the bargain.
We get them here too... not very fond of any spiders....
Very interesting information and super macro shot of this creepy crawler ! Although I am not afraid of spiders I am not fond of them. Thanks for sharing Andrea.
