Insect photography: Rapid Wolf Spider

Larry and Stygg,

Wolf spiders usually carry several dozen spiderlings until they are old enough to fend for themselves.

The leafhopper nymphs secrete a waxy substance that forms a "tail".

This Argus beetle larva actually does carry its poop around.
LOL Leave it to me to have a photo of one laying about.
