Today's interesting fact has to do with Bola Spiders.

Most people are familar with spiders that create webs, chaotic ones as the black widow spiders make or circular ones which are made by orb spiders, the webs that often found in your garden between two plants.

Bola spiders are ones that create a sort of lasso, a sticky blob of web on the end of a line of web.

They often sit in a small circular web waiting until an insect, such as a fly or moth, flies near, when they twirl their Bola and ensnare the passing prey.

You can find a number of videos on the web that show them in action, such as this one.
