Yesterday evening here in Eau Claire, WI, I saw a spider walking on the sidewalk with the following description:

-- a back covered in many cream-colored circles/short tubes
-- fine brown "hairs" in between these circles/tubes
-- a round body

I didn't have my phone with me, so didn't get a photo, and Google searching isn't coming up with anything. Can anyone point me in the right direction on what this might be?

Did it look anything like this? (female wolf spider carrying her young on her back) -

That might've been it. The circles looked more defined compared to that and other wolf spider pics, but it was also in early dusk and thus a little dark...and I hadn't even thought that those could be babies, so I didn't look at it that spider that way. Unless there's a spider that naturally has that circle/hair combination, you might've figured this one out.
