Wolf Spider with egg sac and lunch

Still playing with my 'new' (old secondhand) macro. I've now calibrated it successfully. My 150-600mm Tamron is still in for service and will be at least another week.

 

This image shows a female wolf spider in the Wildlife Cafe. She has her egg sac attached and she will carry this around until the spiderlings hatch. She will then carry the babies on her back until they are large enough to fend for themselves. I see a wolf spider on the same post every year at this time. She is still tiny at around 1 cm long and is seen here with a greenfly for lunch.
