According to Greater Mekong in ” PHOTOS: Cyanide Millipede, Huge Spider Among New Species,” the new specie of giant spider discovered in a large cave in northern Laos is probably the world's largest spider, Heteropoda maxima, has a colossal legspan of up to 12 inches.
There is still many species which haven’t been found by human yet. I think they are really lucky because they wouldn’t be disturbed by human. That is a problem on which we human should have some self-criticism. Though the land on earth has been opened up and developed mostly, some mysteries are hiding. To discover new things are great for rising our horizon, it also will be a big achievement when every specie has been found. Revealing the new species to people all around the world means the protection must be set immediately otherwise what you have done was as the same as pushing it to extinction.
I remember one day when I read the cyclopaedia my mother bought for me. I feel shameful of being a human who would call themselves the greatest specie of this world. Because half of the animal in the cyclopaedia are in danger of extinction and a lot of number of animals were extinct. We always think what we are doing is good for our future. But the truth is, we are consuming the energy on earth. What we really should do is to maintain the original shape of natural beauty.
