30 new species of spider found


Still Waters

Recommended Posts

If you have trouble coping with a spider in your bath, be glad you don't live in the Xishuangbanna tropical rainforest in China.

Scientists have recently identified 30 new species of arachnid in less than a square mile of the mysterious forest in the southern part of Yunnan.

And they believe many more are yet to be discovered in the biodiversity hotspot - called Mengbanaxi in ancient times, meaning a 'miraculous utopia' and also known as 'the Kingdom of Tropical Fauna and Flora'.

This coupled with the Vietnamese "Nightmare Stick", have made a freaky week.

As long as there isn't another one like the Brown Recluse we'll be fine. I'm not scared of spiders in general, just that one.

No kidding. You see those street vendors, on some of those travel shows or documentaries, and they have spiders all cooked up and crisp just sitting on a platter ready to be eaten. Ugh.

After becoming acquainted with many a spider in my attic and basement, I'm not afraid of spiders anymore. So I find this discovery neat. :)
