The leaf one looks cool though :)

It's incredible to see how creatures have evolved and can adapt to there surroundings and environment.

Generally it works better if you don't post that first so that people click on the link then get scared... :p

Although yet again I'm stunned by the quality of Daily Mail reporting, the Goliath Bird Eating Spider has been known about for a very long time. I'm pretty sure we're talking about nearing a couple of centuries here so it simply cannot have been discovered by these scientists in the past 20 years. Although with that said there are some interesting species highlighted there, I'm just not convinced that they're all as novel as is being painted though.

Was going to say exactly the same about the spider. Unless this is a slightly different variation, the bird-eater has been known about for a VERY long time :confused:
