New spider-like species found in Oregon

9788564_GScientists have discovered a new species of arachnid and they’re being described as a monster species. They’re called Crypto-Master Behemoths.

They look like spiders, but they’re actually classified separately by biologists. Scientists say they’re closely related to spider-like arachnids sometimes called Daddy Longlegs.

Biologists searched across several states in the U.S. and finally found the Crypto-Masters in Oregon’s mountainous regions.

Even though they look scary, scientists say this species is actually harmless to people.
