This mysterious (and pretty nasty) thing baffled the scientific world

Above the discovery of Peru biologists scratching their heads and entomologi



Here's a "turret", surrounded by a "fence" found Troy Alexander, a graduate student at the Georgia Institute of Technology, USA, in June in Peru. Like structures simultaneously on the web and in the cocoon it was found in four places, attached to trees.





Alexander has posted photos on various popular sites, but so far no one can say with certainty what animal is building these "towers».





William Eberhard, an entomologist, said that "no idea" what it is and why. Norman paying students studying spiders, joined: "I saw these photos and can not imagine who could create such».

This is probably something like a moth cocoon or other butterflies, but can not say for sure.
