About this favourite
The fossilised features of this spider have been so perfectly preserved that experts have been able to identify it down to the exact species and were even able to tell it was an adult female.
The Golden Orb Weaver lived in the forests of northern China when the climate was much warmer and more tropical than today. Modern female relatives grow to about 2inches and scientists have been amazed that this species has been around for over 165 million years.
