A catapult, a ballista, a trebuchet, they're real sloppy with their siege weaponry.

To quote a famous Vulcan: Fascinating!

"Parry this you filthy casual!"

The paper itself has a really well put together video explaining the situation. It also has a real-time shot of the ant being slung upwards very fast.

Thanks for the link.

It's trebuchet

Why am I not surprised such a creature was found in Australia of all places?

So wait why does the ant bite the spider web? Are the like ah fuck spider webs better get rid of this junk.
