This special spider species was found when bio-conservationist Phil Torres noted an object like a dead dead spider in the middle of a fluttering spider web. However, when he approached, the "corpse" suddenly moved, making the expert curious.
When exploring, expert Torres discovered what resembles a dry dead spider just a mannequin that is patched from many different sources, mainly debris of the jungle.
The 'architect' controls the back, which is a spider that is only 5mm long, and it moves the corpse when it detects an approaching person.
This spider is thought to be a new species of the Cyclosa genus. Cyclosa is known for its ability to distract opponents, be it prey or rival, according to the Geek.com website.
However, this is the first time scientists have recorded a spider that is capable of creating a large and complete "bird of prey" for camouflage.
