英国发现一种新的迷你跳蛛
What is it? Imagine a spider so small, at less than 3 mm long. This new kind of jumping spider is easy to miss. But if you look carefully in the right place, you can find it.
Where was it found? Spider expert Tylan Berry found this new species on the grounds of University of Exeter’s campus in Cornwall. He said this kind of discovery was rare as Britain was one of the best-studied countries in the world for spiders. This tiny spider can be found in good numbers by beating the lower branches of trees and in shrubs over a sheet. They also appeared in another place 48 kilometres away.
How was it identified? At a special event called a bioblitz, where people come together to learn about and identify different living things, Berry found a spider he didn’t know. After lots of time and hard work, Berry still couldn’t figure out what kind of spider it was. So, he asked for help from Dmitri Logunov, a jumping-spider specialist at the Manchester Museum. A year later, they knew they had found a new species.
Is it unique to Britain? Yes, it’s special to Britain for now because no one has found it anywhere else. But it’s not from Britain. Its family members live in the West Indies and it was probably introduced with imported plants.
How did the name come about? Logunov named the spider after his friend Claire Milesae, who worked at the Manchester Museum and loved nature. She was a natural historian and an honorary curator(荣誉馆长) who died last year.
