Saw this spider (http://twitgoo.com/4htmhy?cx=u) today and I'm curious what kind it is. It's body alone is about half the size of a brick and I'm assuming the bumps on it's back are eggs so it's probably female. Also it was in Virginia if that helps. Thanks for any info!

It looks like a wolf spider of the genus Rabidosa- possibly the Rabid Wolf Spider (Rabidosa rabida).

Edit: The bumps on the back are actually spiderlings. They cling to the adult for a time after they hatch.
