Monomad: Jolly Epocilla In Her Hideout
I noticed many holly-leaved acanthus plants growing along our area's banks of the mangrove river. The holly-leaved acanthus is a shrub with sharp thorns. I remember the thorny leaves once pricked my finger; that was very painful. I don't want to talk about this plant. I want to tell you that there is another life there. Certain kinds of spiders nest in holly-leaved acanthus plants. That's the best territory as well as a defensive fortress. Those sharp thorns are quite useful to protect them from other predators. Spider wasps are the most feared predators of spiders.

I found a female jolly epocilla jumper (*[Epocilla aurantiaca](https://www.gbif.org/species/2177835)*) in her hideout.

She felt safer there. Those thorns protect her from being chased by my camera lens.

I was quite fortunate in this situation; my shot could still reach her. Catching those marbles' eyes was the main focus.

But there was something else that made me pity this little girl. She lost one leg. It seemed like she had gone through a great struggle with the enemy. She survived well. Thanks for giving me some great shots!
