The regular readers among you may recall a blog from a few months back about the way different drugs effected the symmetry of spider webs,complete with pictures to illustrate the effects of the various drugs. Hopefully I have now primed you brain to present this truly bizarre web structure. It was found in the Peruvian Amazon and not even scientists know precisely what it is. It consists of a tiny center spire surrounded by what looks a little like a picket fence. It was first thought to be some sort of aborted moth cocoon,others guessed that eggs were at the base of the center. It is still unknown at this time what made the strange structure,but the world's rain forests still contain millions of new species yet to be discovered. Just another example of fact being stranger than fiction!
