South Africa | 2 new spider species discovered in Table Mountain NP

Researchers have made two new exciting discoveries on Table Mountain National Park, further contributing to the park’s already rich biodiversity.

The first is a spider they’ve dubbed the ‘Red Widow’. While they are unsure of whether this spider is a new species, its discovery is exciting none the less. It will undergo a formal taxonomic classification process to determine whether or not it is a brand new species.
