A unique spider with a blue face and eight eyes has been discovered in Australia and has been called a new species of jumping spider.
A woman spotted a spider in a garden in the Australian city of Thrall, which she found strange, and when pictures of it were sent to an entomologist, she described it as a new type of jumping spider.
Amanda de George was looking at the trash can in the garden of her house when her eyes fell on the spider, its face was dark blue and it had eight eyes.
They had seen the spider a year and a half ago, but this time Amanda took pictures of it, while pictures of the four-millimeter-long spider were seen by a spider expert in Melbourne, who confirmed the new species.
Amanda then sent two spiders to Victoria Museum expert Joseph Schubert. "It's a new type of name being considered," Joseph said. In Australia alone, 4,000 new species of spiders have been discovered, and it is estimated that there may be another 10,000 unseen species.
