Chemical ecologist Troy Alexander recently returned to the US after a 3-month volunteer position for the Macaw Project. The project was based out of the Tambopata Research Center (a joint research center/tourist lodge run by Rainforest Expeditions), one of the most remote Amazon Rainforest lodges in South America.
It was here that Troy discovered a strange structure on the trunk of a tree (and a subsequent one on a tarp). It appears to be some kind of egg tower surrounded by a protective barrier (2 cm in diameter) that eerily resembles a white picket fence.
What’s so fascinating is that nobody knows who is responsible.
Entomologists, mycologists, University professors and museum directors have all seen the images but nobody has been able to provide definite confirmation of what created this. It’s possible that Troy has discovered a new species.

Someone took the time to train an unknown insect to build picket fences.

Sorry to spoil it for everyone but, I DID IT...

I must find out who built this! Whatever bug (spider?) built this, is like the Leonardo Da Vinci of the bug world!

It looks like the freaking Eiffel Tower guarded by an electrical fence. Even on the close up, it actually has supporting silk struts holding the antennae up.

This bug is either a show off, an artist, an eccentric, or extremely paranoid.

I wonder what made it Very interesting.

Maybe wait until it hatches and see what comes out?
