Bagong diskubreng gagamba, pinangalan sa legendary

HAYUP SA GALING - Pang-masa

Small but terrible ang bagong diskubreng spider specie na pinangalan kay Princess Urduja, isang legendary warrior na sinasabing namuno sa precolonial kingdom ng Tawalisi, na ngayon ay mas kilalang Pangasinan.

Ang Masteria Urdujae sp. nov. ang kasalukuyang pinakamaliit sa kanilang klase. Ang adult male measures ay may liit lang na 4 millimeters.

Kakaiba ang gagambang ito dahil anim ang kanilang mata at higit na mahahaba ang kanilang spinnerets.

Ito pa lamang ang pangatlong masterline spider specie na nadiskubre sa Pilipinas na napasama sa scientific database mula 1892.

“It’s a like a tarantula, but different,” pagdedetalye ng UPLB graduate student na si Joseph Rasalan.
