Ballistic high-powered spider webs overcome dangerous prey defenses

Australian spider creates a totally new type of traps for catching safely one species of dangerous insect (and only that species)

This is the first spider trap known that is designed specifically for snatching ants from the rest of the colony, avoiding the danger to be surrounded and killed while trying to dominate its prey.

Is also the first known that launches the prey directly towards a conventional web, not much unlike a dards game.
