Still Waters Posted December 5, 2014 #1 Share Posted December 5, 2014 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'. http://www.dailymail...rainforest.html 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use your brain Posted December 7, 2014 #7 Share Posted December 7, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HVBovoidell Posted December 11, 2014 #13 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I think we already have enough spiders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruel_Cahal Posted December 12, 2014 #14 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I have mild arachnophobia so yeah .... 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.
