Hiding underground and only emerging at night, a creepy crawly creature in the woodlands of Australia remained undetected. Not anymore. Researchers in Queensland set out to formally document a “rare and giant” spider and determined it was a new species, the Queensland Museum said in a news release. The scientists found the trapdoor spider hiding in the soil of woodland areas. The researchers named the spider Euoplos dignitas, a name meaning “dignity or greatness” that’s intended to reflect the “impressive size and nature of the spider,” museum officials said. Male Euoplos dignitas spiders have a bright red coloring, long spindly legs and an almost shiny body, photos shared by the museum on Facebook on March 17 show. Females of the species have more of a muted red coloring and a compact body shape. www.yahoo.com/news/species-giant-spider-discovered-hiding-192525332.html
