🕷️ An international team of researchers, which included #MacquarieUniversity, have discovered a remarkable new spider species in the rainforest of north Queensland that spins an ingenious and powerful spring-actuated snare to catch a single species of ant – one ant at a time – in what they describe as “the ultimate specialisation”. Nicknamed the ballista spider after the ancient Roman weapon that used a spring to launch a bolt or stone, the small nocturnal spider has apparently evolved a unique web mechanism to trap only the highly territorial and aggressive green tree ant Oecophylla smaragdina.

she has work to do
She has work to do, establishing
Her anchor threads, her frame threads,
Even her bridge thread and all her radii,Hub to be ready by dawn, herself resting --
All-powerful, so far as any lacewing can
See. Seeking out the ripest berries, sheWorks not to eat drupelets, but entirely to
Offer them as bait to fruit flies and their ilk.
Right away along comes another
Killer, a ladybird beetle, seeking the berriesToo, and for the same reason. He's caught,
Offers resistance, is overwhelmed, rolled up,Done. Whatever comes in, if protein, her
Ovum will accept. Death it is brings life.
