In the Peruvian Amazon, a strange formation was found from cobwebs, resembling a tiny spire surrounded by a fence. On the today the nature of this entity cannot be explained even scientists. One of the researchers of this mysterious phenomenon, graduate student Alexander Troy, claims that for the first time a spider web appeared near the national research center Amazonia Reserve. At first, Alexander thought he had discovered unusual mole cocoon however when he found some more very among themselves similar strange spider webs – I realized that he cannot cope with this riddle on his own. He put pictures of the web on the Reddit website and asked other scientists help figure out what it is. In addition to placing photos on different themed sites, Alexander Troy made several requests in research center “Tambopath”, but to no avail. His the assumption that weird spider webs are eggs or pupae before this pore of an unexplored insect has also remained unconfirmed although not disproved.

Chris Buddle, an arachnologist at McGill University, said that neither Does he or any of his colleagues know what it is? “I have no idea I don’t have the nature of this country’s web, however, it’s pretty fascinating secret! “, Chris declared. In the journal” Living Science ” it is reported that Norman Platnik, honorary curator of the spider department in American Museum of Natural History in New York, also perplexedly spread his hands and said: “I have no idea which an insect or animal can create such a cocoon. “So far, scientists and researchers puzzle over the nature of this web, putting forward completely different assumptions: a cocoon of moth; complex a trap guarding spider eggs; fruiting bodies of certain species mushrooms, etc., Alexander Troy went on vacation in Peruvian Amazonia as a volunteer researcher. He is sure, that this strange web structure will open up a new kind for science insects. Maybe the forests of the Amazon are hiding under their cover millions of new arthropod species (a group of animals with hard exo a skeleton that includes spiders and insects)? After all thanks to one of the studies of arthropods conducted in jungle of Panama, more than 25,000 species of insects, spiders were found and other arthropods, 70 percent of which were new to modern science.
