Web Structures In Peruvian Amazon Goes Viral [PHOTO], Scientists Respond: Moth, Arachnid Cocoon Or Fungus?

A never-before-seen web structure found in the Peruvian Amazon is going viral on Reddit and the internet, with photos baffling scientists.

The images first came upon Reddit after Georgia Tech graduate student Troy Alexander spotted one on the underside of a tarp near the Tambopata Research Center in the Peruvian Amazon.

"Seriously, who makes egg cases like this? Just under 2cm across, Southern Peruvian Amazon," writes Alexander on Reddit with the photo of the web, corral, cocoon structure.

And so far, scientists and experts are voicing their opinions on the matter. And there seems to be a general concensus...

"I have no idea what animal made that," says Norman Platnick, curator emeritus of spiders at the American Museum of Natural History, according to Huffington Post.

"I have no idea what made it, or even what it is," says entomologist at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute William Eberhard.

"I don't know what it is. My guess is something like a lacewing, but I don't really know," says arachnologist Linda Rayor of Cornell University.

"I do not know what organism made it. Never seen such a structure before," says Jonathan Coddington, associate director at the National Museum of Natural History.

"We are all guessing. We have no freakin' clue. And that's my expert opinion," says entomologist Gwen Pearson.

So far, the most popular opinion is the web structures resemble the moths in the Bucculatricidae family, although it is not an exact match visually.
