seeder Posted December 24, 2013 #1 Share Posted December 24, 2013 (edited) We Went to the Amazon to Find Out What Makes These Weird Web-Tower Things TAMBOPATA, Peru — After six months of speculation, we finally know what’s building these bizarre silk structures in the Amazon: a spider! But its precise identity is still a mystery that scientists are scrambling to solve as I write this. Last week we followed these spider-hunting scientists, led by entomologist Phil Torres, deep into the Amazon rainforest as they attempted to find the tiny silk towers and figure out where they came from. It has not been an easy case to crack. http://www.wired.com...mystery-solved/ Edited December 24, 2013 by Still Waters Removed copyrighted image 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
