Wolf spider behaviour question: Not sure if you guys remember Nancy, the mother wolf spider who lives on our property. She recently had many, MANY babies, and I used to check on her every day or so, basically just peeked down her tunnel to say hi.
Anyway, this last week I have not seen Nancy come to the entrance of her home at all, and I shone a little light down there and can’t see her, not even a leg.
Do wolf spiders move into different tunnels? Is it something to do with her children growing up?
I just hope she’s ok coz she’s huge and a cool spood.

I only realised recently how many adorable jumping spiders there are in Australia so I was trying to find some around my property. No luck finding any but I did find this adorable huntsman family living inside some bark. Lots like a multigenerational huntsman apartment. I couldn’t add video and a photo in the post so I’ll add a photo of one of them in a comment.

Just saw this spood on a giant gumtree in our backyard. Haven’t seen one of these before so just thought it was cool.

Pretty sure it’s a baby badge hunstman - we’ve just had lots of wolfies around so thought I’d check.
Sorry for the shitty pics. My phone still sucks.

We have a lot of hawk moths “born” on our property. It’s so fascinating to see their little exuvias left behind. ❤️

Just wanted to share my sweet boy Gimli and his chicken sister, Ostara. She always wants to nap right next to him. 😍😍

Just love them so much.
