The mother lynx spider faithfully guards her nest of eggs

Just like humans, animals also have mothers who really love their children. A mother's form of love & responsibility for her child is such as breastfeeding and so on. In animals, it starts from the time they incubate their eggs until they educate their young.

While I was in the bush a few days ago I captured several moments of a spider guarding its nest of eggs, this is clear evidence of the spider's affection for its future children. The spider that I am sharing is a bush-dwelling spider, in fact this spider is known as the king of the bushes because it is a reliable predator that is able to prey on other types of animals such as insects.

I have included several photos of the Oxyopes salticus spider in this post, you can see how faithfully it guards its nest of eggs. Even when my beloved macro lens approached the spider, it didn't move at all. This is certainly very different from usual when he is not guarding his nest egg.

What's more interesting is that it makes its egg nests in grass panicles. I was really moved to see the sincerity of this spider in guarding its nest of eggs, that's why I photographed and shared some of these moments here.

Wow, some of the spider portraits are very detailed and look very beautiful, especially since you took the pictures using some really good techniques so they look really cool.
