Check it out: scientists have discovered a new genus and species of arachnid fossils dating back to the Miocene, which is the period from 23 to 5 million years ago.
One of the new spiders is Megamonodontium mccluskyi, named after the U.S. man who discovered it.
Its kind of brush-footed trapdoor spider that would’ve hunted by ambushing prey that made the mistake of walking within reach of its camouflaged burrow.
