This newly discovered ballista spider catapults ants into a deadly trap
Scientists have discovered a “ballista spider” that builds a spring-powered silk trap designed specifically to catch aggressive green tree ants. The ant unknowingly triggers the mechanism itself, launching into the spider’s web in one of nature’s most extraordinary hunting strate
