Strange Organism in the Peruvian Amazon, a Mystery Even for Scientists (PHOTOS)

The picket-fence looking organism with a spindle-like center has been observed around the rainforest and has been making rounds in the net through Reddit with the help of its photographer, Troy Alexander, who had seen these creatures on June 7 near Tambopata Research Center in Peru.

Many people are guessing on what animal might have created it but no one is sure yet.

Phil Torres, a known conservationist biologist, guessed from his Twitter that it might be Neuroptera.

While Gwen Pearson, in a statement with Wired Science, said that she might "go with" the Urodidae family.

Alexander had a definite exclusion though: that this is not a moth cocoon.

In a discussion at Bugtracks wherein they had discussed the new find, Leslie Brunetta commented and had a very plausible guess on what animal made the object.

" The majority of all spider species are cribellate spiders (there are tens of thousands of species): the original glue-affixing orb weavers and their descendants are a very successful offshoot of one of the cribellate lineages. The first use of spider silk probably was egg casing, but this may have been simultaneous with burrow lining, because it's clear, especially when you look at the mesothele spiders, that spiders started out hundreds of millions of years ago as burrow dwellers. In one way, nearly all later silk constructions, including this corral, can be seen as modifications of burrow linings. I'm pretty sure that this will turn out to be a cribellate construction, although I may have to eat my hat. There's nothing in it that can't be seen in other spider constructions, reaching all the way back to the ropy trip lines of the mesotheles."
