Two new 'shy' spider species found, named after Great Indian Bustard

The spiders are particularly shy, hiding under rocks or in crevices when disturbed. They are maroon in colour, a unique feature they share with the other two known species in their genus, Palpimanidae. Because they are ground species and have heavier bodies, their ability to disperse as spiders do by ballooning, shooting their web, and traipsing from one place to another is limited. As a result, they stay confined to an area. More research on these spider species will continue. | Mumbai news
