Although I find the 8 legged insect munchers terrifying, I’m also fascinated about the hairy backed wall climbing horrors so that the of the largest known spider was found in both horrified and excited me! The from the period is of a Nephila jurassica, a spider from the same genus as the Nephila spiders which can weave webs of up to 5 feet across!
The fossilized spider measures only 1 inch in length, but the the discovery has unearthed information that Inner Mongolia, where the fossil was found, was once a tropical humid area.
