I've searched for 2 days and can't figure out what type of spider this is. Nothing I've seen has the somewhat lumpy looking furry back that this spider has. It measured about 1 1/4 inches including the legs. I know it's not dangerous, but I'm curious so if anyone can help it would be much appreciated.
It's a female wolf spider carrying her newly hatched young about until they are old enough to set out by themselves - see http://www.livescience.com/41467-wolf-spider.html
Oh, I see it now, that lumpy back is actually all little spiders! Thanks so much for your help
