Pink Dragon Millipede
More than a 1000 species have been discovered in the Greater Mekong region of Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. This new discovery will surely urge more environmental groups to stop the destruction of those lands. One of the most significant finds in the jungles out there is the most famous and hard to find spider in the world, the Heteropoda maxima.The Heteropoda maxima is a spider with leg spans around 30 cm or about 12 inches. They are some of the largest of huntsman spiders in the world. According to Wikipedia these spiders are found in "Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Southeast Asia, the Mediterranean, Florida, and Hawaii, and possibly in many other tropical and semi-tropical regions. They can be found as far north as England, Sweden and Wales." These eight-legged giant spider beasts are enough to make almost anyone's skin crawl.
Most commonly called Wood Spiders, they are not deadly to humans. According to research their bites will make the victim suffer only with minor swelling and localized pain, and will recover in a day or two. Some have had induced vomiting but there apparently needs to be more research done.
Along with the Hetero maxima, a dragon millipede was found in the forest. We are talking about a hot pink creature.
