Hi, this is a mother Wolf Spider (Lycosidae) carrying her spiderlings on her back.
Thank you.. Are they dangerous? I have kids, cats in the garden, a small dog in the house.. Would you recommend any actions?
Like most spiders they have venom but are not considered to be of medical significance, everyone’s immune system is different though. No action should be needed considering it was outside.
