    A stunning photograph has captured a wolf spider wearing a hat of her own babies in Maryland.

    The image, titled "Wolf Spider Mama" was named the winner of the insects and arachnids category of The Nature Conservancy's 2023 Global Photo Contest.

    The image, taken by photographer Benjamin Salb, shows a wolf spider (of the family Lycosidae)  carrying its spiderlings.

    Salb spotted the spider in the middle of an asphalt path early in the morning.

    Wolf spiders are unique in that they carry their egg sac on the bottom rear of their abdomens.

    They can lay around 100 eggs at a time and are fiercely protective of their young.

    "After hatching, the spiderlings climb on their mother's back, and she carries them around for several days," Jo-Anne Nina Sewlal, an arachnologist at the University of the West Indies in Trinidad, previously told Live Science.

    Within a week, the spiderlings become independent and they climb off and leave.
