Field Notes

Description:

This Teranga sp. seems to be guarding her egg sac and babies. As you can see in my first picture there are many hatchlings already out of the sac and are, I think, creating their own cobweb "cloud" on which they can move around.

Habitat:

This Cellar Spider was spotted in the grain store of the rice mill, just a few feet away from the spider shown in - https://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/135992715
