I very much appreciate the care you take to spare the spider from stress as you observe it. I also am impressed by the amount of effort you expend in order to correctly identify this spider.

The little bed the spider has made for its eggs is fascinating.

This fall my granddaughter is starting her college career at a school that has as its official symbol, the spider. The school has great respect for this arthropod, and so does my granddaughter. I hope that is a good sign for her future there :)

Thank you for this fascinating blog, and thank you for the translation.

Regards...

Yes, the identification of certain arthropods is not easy, so there are many species that despite being discovered, still do not have data that place them in a particular family or genus, others are initially placed in some group and after new discoveries move them to another. Sometimes it takes me more than a month to prepare an arthropod specimen for a post, especially if I include the whole phase of its development from egg to adult, this can be seen in some of the publications I have on butterflies and moths.

On the other hand, the bedding that the spider makes to protect its eggs is very similar to cotton, it uses several layers of webbing. Interesting about your granddaughter's school emblem, will she be studying something related to biology? Thanks so much for your support! Regards.

Hello @abneagro,

We love animals in my family, all kinds of animals. She hopes to major in health science and become an occupational therapist. Ultimately she would like to rehabilitate injured/sick animals. But she doesn't mind helping people, either:)

She is 17, though, and who knows what the future holds. (You can see I am a proud grandmother--forgive me 🙂)

You keep writing these wonderful articles: I'll keep reading them

Regards....

Ah she'll be a health professional, that'll be great. I thought he would study something related to biology because of his school emblem. I hope his future is bright and full of good things, although we always learn from all the negative things that happen to us on our path in this life. best regards!
