Hi there this may be a spider in the Lycosidae (Wolf Spiders) family.
Thank you! I have never seen a spider carrying its young before–this was an interesting one to spot!
No problem, Wolf spiders are known to carry there young on there backs.
Yes she is actually a Pardosa sp. (thin legged wolf Spider)
