平腹小蜂與椿象卵
帶孩子觀賞樹幹時,發現直徑約5公分的漂亮白色編織物,赫見上方有隻雌蛛正在護卵,原來是蜘蛛的卵囊。這隻薩氏長疣蛛體色接近樹皮,具有完美的保護色,貼近卵囊守護著小寶貝們,避免其他天敵的侵擾,展現無邊無際的母愛。
As I was observing a tree trunk with my children, I discovered a beautiful, white cocoon of about 5 cm in diameter. Above it was a female spider protecting her eggs. The coloring of this two-tailed spider (Hersilia savignyi) closely matches that of the tree bark in an example of natural camouflage. She stays close to the cocoon, protecting her young from predators in a display of endless maternal love.
