More Good News From The Natural World

 

The first sign of a newly identified Mexican spider was an enormous, shed exoskeleton hanging from a cave ceiling.

 

Biologists were exploring the grotto in a mountainous region outside of La Paz in Baja California Sur, Mexico when they found the light, papery remnant of a creature the width of a softball, Smithsonian reports.

 

Later, they returned to the cave at night to find three, active, live spiders. That’s when they thought that they had a new species on their hands.

 

It was 2013 when they first found the spiders, which they took back and examined. Since then, several more have been found in human-made mine shafts. The hairy, brownish animal features a yellow back and has an inch-long body, but with the long legs, it spans four inches across.

 

This kind of spider bullshit has to stop. Softball sized spiders? Nuke the cave they come from and lets all get back to the regular horrors of life on this planet WITHOUT the big spiders. Thank you very much. I don't want to live in a world where they grow to this size and live underneath us. Plus ONE female can birth thousands more and soon we have us an invastion of spiders that ruins everyone's weekend.
