The woman saw on the trees near the house strange fruit

A resident of Australia saw in the trees near the neighbor's house unusual elongated objects. Light brown "fruits" were like exotic fruits, and even in the "cocoons of aliens" from a science fiction movie.

Since these trees were not fruit and nothing similar has this woman not seen, she called the sinister objects. Then she filmed them and posted on Facebook, asking for advice about their identification.

"This is hanging in the trees of a neighbouring plot of land next to our trampoline. Like big bags and looks a bit ominous, so I'm excited."

The mystery began to unravel when the woman described, around the fruit you can see a bit of the web. After that, several commentators expressed that most likely these "pouches" or "pods" — the result of bolas spiders.

These spiders do not weave a normal spider network, and hunting with long webs with a sticky drop on the end. With this drop they catch a prey like a fisherman or fish as a cowboy throws his lasso at a cow. These spiders inhabit in America, Africa and Australia and, as it turned out, they also can construct such brown elongated capsule. After mating, the female spider wraps up the fertilized eggs with cobwebs and hangs on the trees. When the web hardens, it darkens and turns like a cocoon, each containing several hundred eggs.

When the little spiders hatch ( this usually happens in early spring), they descend to the ground on slender webs as parachutes. These spiders do not provide a danger to humans, but the disclosure of the mysteries of the woman is not pleased, as she was worried that the spiders flooded the whole area.
