無盡的愛(Endless Love)

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.
