The tiny spiderlings are completely dependent on their mother's milk for the first 20 days of their life.

幼蛛在出生后的前 20 天完全依赖于母亲的乳汁。

And after hatching, the spiderlings ride on mom's back.

孵化后，小蜘蛛会骑在妈妈的背上。

As they get larger, the spiderlings suckle straight from their mom's epigastric furrow.

随着它们越来越大，小蜘蛛会直接从妈妈的上腹沟吸奶。

Even though the mother spider never brought anything back to the nest to eat, the spiderlings tripled in length in the first 20 days.

尽管母蜘蛛从未带回巢吃任何东西，但在最初的 20 天里，幼蛛的身长增加了两倍。

For example, Crab Spider mothers lay unfertilized nurse eggs for her spiderlings to feast on and once the eggs are consumed, she offers herself to be eaten entirely in the process called Matriphagy.

例如，蟹蛛妈妈会产下未受精的看护卵供其幼蛛享用。一旦卵吃完了，她会把自己也作为食物被幼蛛整个吃掉，这一过程被称为“母性吞噬”。
