A great mother. Can you imagine carrying around a few dozen babies until they are big enough to take care of themselves? This Rabida Rabidosa has lost a leg and a pedipalp.

Cheers to all the solo parents out there 🍻
Also I’m sure there’s a few people who think their mom eating their dad would’ve been a good thing so they didn’t need to meet him.
That is not common in wolf spiders. There is some cannibalism between siblings, but usually only when food is rare.
And one wolf spider Allocosa brasiliensis, is actually a reverse example: Occasionally males eat the females.
