Description

Several days ago a small group of these little critters are nesting in my papaya tree. My wife was afraid that will damage the tree and the fruits that begin to grow, but they have limited themselves to lay their eggs and stay there and protect them. It is touching to see them there, quietly, using their small bodies as a shield, ready to give their lives for their children. I do not know if they eat, the only thing I know is that when I go to work, they are there, and when I return, are also there, standing guard. I hope that when pups are born, not harm the tree or fruit, but ... what the hell, I can buy papayas on the market!

I think this is a most touching image of motherhood. :)))) It shows what all of us parents want to do for our own children and that is to protect them from harm. :)))))) Most excellent capture my friend :)))) You have a little family that tells you goodbye in the morning and hello in the evening that is sweet. :)))) Thank you for sharing all of the beauty you see. :))))) Carry A Smile In Your Heart :))))

This really is so special to see, and your 'story' is lovely. Indeed, you can buy papaya's on the market, where you can't buy those perfect behavior of the mother-mot :)
