But a newly discovered species from Australia instead uses its silk to craft a spring-loaded, cone-shaped death trap, which catapults its prey into the spider\u2019s main web. A foraging tree ant bites the base of the trap, then silk tethers release and the structure hurls the ant upward. This feat of arachnid engineering has never previously been observed.\n    <\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=3590\">Japan isn\u2019t quite where it once was. Scientists say a newly recognized seismic event is to blame<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n            Scientists recently discovered that this trap was the work of a spider from the rainforest of North Queensland. The spider \u2014 nicknamed \u201cballista spider,\u201d after a projectile weapon that originated in ancient Greece \u2014 has gangly, orange limbs and a greenish-yellow body measuring about 0.2 inches (5 millimeters) long. It belongs to the genus Propostira but has yet to receive a species name, researchers reported Monday in the journal Current Biology.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Scientists have dubbed the newfound species\" class=\"wp-image-3595\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/0308f9c53be34fba59eaa6b791d6a2a7-768x960.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/0308f9c53be34fba59eaa6b791d6a2a7-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/0308f9c53be34fba59eaa6b791d6a2a7-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/0308f9c53be34fba59eaa6b791d6a2a7.jpg 819w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<span>Scientists have dubbed the newfound species &#8220;ballista spider&#8221; after the ancient spring-loaded weapon.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Pranav Joshi<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            \u201cThe snare is perhaps most effective because it releases energy so rapidly that, relative to its size, it produces thousands of times more power than muscle can generate,\u201d said lead study author Ajay Narendra, a sensory biologist and professor in the School of Natural Sciences at Macquarie University in Sydney.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cLike a loaded spring, it stores energy slowly and releases it almost instantaneously,\u201d Narendra told CNN in an email.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Only one species of ant is drawn to this trap and sets it off: the green tree ant, or Oecophylla smaragdina, an arboreal species that is abundant and aggressive. It attacks rivals and predators with bites and blasts of formic acid, and has adhesive pads on its feet to help it carry heavy loads up trees.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The ballista spider is the only known spider to hunt just one species of prey. Its highly specialized strategy likely evolved to take advantage of the ant\u2019s natural aggression and then overcome its defenses; the slingshot mechanism flings the ant from the foraging trail, reducing the risk that the spider will be swarmed by other workers, the researchers hypothesized. However, it is still unknown why the green tree ant and no others approach the trap aggressively. One possibility, according to the study, may be that the spiders apply pheromones to the silk catapult that provoke only green tree ants, causing them to attack the cone and trigger its release.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cThis is a remarkable discovery because it combines two aspects that are rarely seen together: extreme biomechanical performance and a high degree of ecological specialization,\u201d said Leonardo Delgado-Santa, a professor of biology at the University of Quind\u00edo in Colombia and a researcher with the Ecdysis Research Group. He studies arachnids but was not involved in the new discovery.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cBiologists have known for some time that certain spiders can use tensioned silk to amplify power and rapidly capture prey, but this study describes a system in which the trap is specifically tuned to exploit the defensive behavior of a particular ant species,\u201d Delgado-Santa told CNN in an email.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cThe fact that the prey itself triggers the mechanism through its aggressive response makes the system especially elegant from an evolutionary perspective,\u201d he added.\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n        \u2018Absolutely bizarre\u2019\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            Study coauthor Gregory Anderson, a taxonomist and emeritus research fellow at the QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute in Brisbane, Queensland, was the first to observe the trap-building prowess of the spider. He then contacted Narendra and senior study author Jonas Wolff, a researcher at the University of Greifswald\u2019s Zoological Institute and Museum in Germany who specializes in spider silk.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cJonas and I immediately thought this was absolutely bizarre and needed investigation,\u201d Narendra said.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            To capture the first-ever images of this unique trap mechanism, the scientists drove thousands of miles to the remote rainforests of Australia\u2019s Cape York Peninsula and conducted nighttime spider stakeouts with multiple cameras and infrared lights. Over several nights, they watched and filmed for nearly four hours as spiders built their conical trap strand by strand.\n    <\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=3586\">Trump went back to his political happy place \u2014 but voters may not follow<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n            First, a spider would lay down an anchor point on a surface where green tree ants were likely to forage, before attaching it to a tension line connecting back to the main web. It would repeat this process until it had constructed a scaffold of 15 to 60 tension lines that are stretched taut in a conical shape, which the spider would then wrap with a thinner type of silk. Completed cones measured about 0.24 inches (6 millimeters) long, with a diameter of 0.09 inches (2.3 millimeters) at the base.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"This unique, intricately made silken cone is designed for just one type of prey: the green tree ant.\" class=\"wp-image-3596\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/613b589a0755b8e8c843132ef6113c24-768x960.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/613b589a0755b8e8c843132ef6113c24-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/613b589a0755b8e8c843132ef6113c24-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/613b589a0755b8e8c843132ef6113c24.jpg 819w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<span>This unique, intricately made silken cone is designed for just one type of prey: the green tree ant.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Gregory Anderson<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            \u201cWithin seconds ants are attracted to it and bite the silk cone,\u201d Narendra said. Biting destabilizes the cone so it detaches from the forest floor, leaf or branch, and the tension lines rapidly contract. The ant \u2014 still clutching the cone in its mandibles \u2014 is then yanked up and flung into the spider\u2019s web.\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n        \u2018Over in a flash\u2019\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            On the first night, when an ant triggered the snare, the trap was deployed so quickly that the researchers\u2019 high-speed camera \u2014 capable of shooting between 5,000 and 7,000 frames per second (fps) \u2014 wasn\u2019t ready and missed the shot.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cIt was over in a flash,\u201d Narendra said. Luckily, a few images were caught by a camera shooting at a much slower speed: 25 fps. \u201cWe went through the footage on site, and at this frame rate, the snare was present in one frame, and gone in the next,\u201d Narendra said. \u201cWe only saw the captured ant dangling in the core web. That\u2019s when we knew we had witnessed something special.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            They later filmed a trap\u2019s release at 5,000 fps. Acceleration of the triggered snare was more than 3,058 miles per second (4,921 kilometers per second), or about 100 times greater than the acceleration of a Formula One car, Narendra said.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The snare doesn\u2019t just move quickly, he added. For such a tiny mass of silk, \u201cit packs an extraordinary amount of energy,\u201d even more than that of the famous slingshot spider, \u201clong regarded as one of nature\u2019s most powerful silk-powered launch systems.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<header>\n<span>\n      Related article\n    <\/span>\n<\/header>\n<section>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Nicky_Bay_Araneae-Smodicinus-P1014000.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-3597\" height=\"144\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/deb9fe54daaf5f21678e4dcb6e1254ff.jpg\" width=\"256\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Nicky Bay\/The Wilderness Project<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\n<span>Fluorescent spider and armored cricket among incredible discoveries in Angola<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<div>4  min read<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            For Delgado-Santa, who researches spider ecology and behavioral adaptations, such as how artificial light affects hunting habits in some spiders, \u201cthis study provides another example of how finely tuned spider foraging strategies can become in response to specific ecological challenges.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The researchers are also eager to delve deeper into the ballista spider\u2019s family tree, to see what other surprises they might have in store, Narendra said.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cOther species of Propostira are found in Asia and we are keen to determine their hunting strategies.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n    Mindy Weisberger is a science writer and media producer whose work has appeared in Live Science, Scientific American and How It Works magazine.
