New Spiders Discovered

Oregon and California residents, watch out for some new eight-legged friends! Scientists say they have found a new family of spiders in caves in the two states. The arachnids, which are about 2.75 inches long, have been named “Trogloraptors,” or “cave robbers.” Even creepier? They have pointed claws. It’s been 140 years since the last discovery of this kind, and doubtless there are some people out there who hope it will be another 140 before the next one.
