Nursery web spiders are spiders of the family Pisauridae. They resemble wolf spiders (family Lycosidae) but they carry their egg sacs by means of their jaws and pedipalps (instead of attaching them to their spinnerets). When the eggs are about to hatch a mother spider will build a nursery tent put her egg sac inside and mount guard outside.
