Van Helsing stumbled upon an elaborate web spun between two branches near the riverbank. Unlike typical spider webs, this one glistened with tiny droplets that sparkled like diamonds in the sunlight. Curious, he observed a tiny spider—an orb-weaver—skillfully repairing its trap.
Suddenly, a subtle vibration caught his attention. It was not prey, but a rival spider trying to invade the territory! Van Helsing marveled at the territorial nature of spiders, each web a fortress defended fiercely by its maker.
