Pardosa astrigera (Lycosidae) [Japanese name : uduki komori-gumo]


Illust

It's a wolf spider. The wolf spiders are swift hunters, living on the

ground.

They drag their egg sacs behind them. These look like white balls and are

attached to the spinnerets. When the young hatch, they climb upon the back

of the mother and stay there until they are able to provide for themselves.

The length is 7-10 mm.

It is found throughout Japan.
