Mysterious silk structure in the Amazon known as a "silkhenge" captured in new 4K video


Try and crack the mystery of Silkhenge and WHY it has this incredible structure around it.

These strange and tiny structures, each small enough to fit on a fingertip, have captivated and perplexed scientists since the first one was discovered in 2013 in Peru, near the Tambopata Research Center.

A tapering central cone ringed by delicate silk pillars reminiscent of Stonehenge led to the name.


A new 4K video filmed by entomologist Phil Torres and Ryan Lagod during a recent visit to ‘Silkhenge Island’ in Peru revealed that these strange structures serve as protective fences around spider egg sacs, but the species of spider behind the structures has yet to be identified.
