What I witnessed here, I think, was an attempt of a Lycosidae (most likely Pardosa sp.) to balloon? Anyone willing to confirm?

*Ballooning refers to a type of locomotion where a spider takes flight.

I have never actually seen a mother wolf spider with there young before in the wild but this lady was crossing my driveway so I moved her the direction she was moving. When I saw her from a distance I thought she was a mouse spider or a velvet. #wolfspiders #eggsack #slings #nature #spider
