Help identify this spider
Scottsdale,
It looks like it has something on it’s back, kinda like babies?
Yep, she’s a mom!
I think she might be a Triangulate Cobweb Spider (Steatoda Triangulosa).
Do they carry their babies? I know Wolf Spiders do, but it doesn’t look like a Wolf. Interesting, whatever it is.
Hmm I hadn’t thought of the fact that Wolf Spiders seem to be the only ones known for carrying their young. I’m stumped! Gonna look into other species possibly doing this.
Ah, okay I’ve solved the mystery. She is indeed a Wolf Spider; she’s an Allocosa Sublata. That smooth body threw me off.
Must be, I’ve seen lots of wolf spiders, but this didn’t seem like one. This one is very small and the cephalothorax looks different
