How To Get Rid Of Kaleidoscope In Vision

ootheca

Class:

Family: Scytodidae
Gender: Scytodes
Species: Scytodes cf.
thoracica

What is an ootheca? An ootheca is a repository of eggs that are different arthropods. Comes from Greek oon "egg" and Theke "deposit" These eggs are surrounded by a protein foam that hardens when exposed to air, in the form of protection.
Some insects like grasshoppers, buried in the earth their egg sacs, others such as the praying mantis stick to rocks or branches of plants. In contrast, other insects such as cockroaches or spiders like the spider photo, carry the egg sac until the birth of their offspring.

The spider we see in the picture as we know, it is the same Scytodes thoracica I put several entries further back when her ootheca formed sometime after the first picture I did.
