Let’s hope this animal doesn’t upset your sleep tonight. Below is a close-up facial expression of the Wolf Spider (Lycosidae).
If you don’t think the energy the creature gives off is weird enough (see the Oni Mask), look more closely at the additional four more little eyes near the mouth.
Despite looking like an angry muppet, the wolf spider takes the parenting role seriously.
The mothers carry the kids on their backs until the Spiderlings are old enough to hunt independently.
When spotted at night, the baby spiders look like little sparkly eyes.
Here are some other more zoomed-out images of the Wolf Spider so you can identify it just in case you cross paths.
