Some spiders can engineer some pretty amazing webs! 🕸️ Meet the Australian ballista spider. This arachnid diligently spends up to four hours crafting a web trap designed to catch one type of prey: the green tree ant. When the green tree ant triggers the trap by biting, it’s rapidly thrown upward into the spider’s main web. Some scientists think this might be the first spider’s web engineered to catch one kind of prey! #Entomology #Bugs #Spiders #Animals #Science
