The 'threshing' spider catches like a western cowboy
The spider species introduced below have a skillful predatory way. Instead of having to spread the net, they only use a single thread to throw together their goals, just like the cowboys use the noose that we still see in the movie!
Spider Bolas is a master of hunting art. This title is due to the fact that this spider has perfectly combined the trick and skill to summarize its top prey.
Bolas when hunting only release a single thread.
Specifically, instead of having to cast a large net to wait for the prey to fly in like most other spiders, the Bolas spider when hunting only releases a single thread and what is especially the tip of the thread is still available. Add a drop of very sticky fluid.
If you're still wondering about some of the spider's machinations, you need to know that its second predatory weapon is its ability to 'disguise'. Specifically, because the main prey of the Bolas spider is moths, it will secrete chemicals that simulate sex Pheromones (a type of chemical signal to attract heterosexual individuals) of female moths. It is Pheromone that will trick male moths to make them think that the Bolas spider is a mates.
Now, when the prey has attracted and approached, the Bolas spider will spin the thread in the air to capture moths into its sticky trap, just like the western cowboy uses a noose. Catch the target.
