Spiders are excited by the emergence of a new species of spider in Australia's dense coastal jungle.
At the end of last year, spider experts and scientists discovered the new arachnidae on the southern coast of NSW, the Daily Mail reported. It's a peacock spider called Munters sapphirus, with colored markings on its back and black dots on its shoulders that look like two eyes.
As a scientist working for BioBlitz, Helen Ranson found this little spider on a leaf in the forest. She immediately showed to her colleague, Stuart Harris, that he soon knew it was a new species. "We're all excited to jump. Can you imagine the feeling?"

On Wednesday, the spider was sent to Dr. Jurgen Otto, which proved to be a new species. Because it was discovered by Helen Ranson in Bluephire Coast, NSW, it is also named "Helen Ranson". "Maratus is the generic name of peacock spiders," said Harris, known as Spider-Man. Because it was discovered in Sapphire coast, I suggest that its name be related to sapphire. "
