Building an Egg Case… Photo by @javier_aznar_photography The Amazon rainforest near Tena, Ecuador, Javier spotted a female thorned heart orb weaver spider delicately constructing an egg case. Hanging from a single silk thread, these arachnids spend hours carefully constructing a safe cocoon for their eggs. This is often on the underside of a leaf, away from the prying eyes of avian predators. Each sac contains several hundreds of eggs. Once it’s completed, the female dies, leaving her spiderlings to hatch and fend for themselves over winter. #wild #egg #araña #macro #wildlife #spiders #natures #ecuador #rainforest #macrophotography https://www.instagram.com/p/CaSApdTMdP-/?utm_medium=tumblr -- source link
