When a female Wolf Spider gives birth to her young, she produces many eggs that she lays onto a silken mat. Afterwards she weaves it into a sac. She then carries the egg sac with her, attached to the spinnerets, keeping her abdomen raised when moving about.

The mother doesn’t feed them, but looks after them until they are old enough to care for and feed themselves, giving them transport and protection from predators.
