I have seen Wolf Spiders on a couple of occasions
that live in the ACT region in unlidded burrows with dozens of spiderlings on
their back. I suspect they stay there till they are able to fend for
themselves.
Some wasps hunt spiders and store them in burrows
in sandy ground for their larvae to feed on after stinging them to paralise
them.
The wasp in this instance may have been unable
to deal with the adult spider and was after the
spiderlings.
