What is the largest spider in the world: not everyone knows about it
In most cases, people are hostile even to small spiders that sometimes live in our apartments.
They rarely evoke sympathy.
Many people are afraid of them, even if there are no objective reasons for fear. But there is also a limited number of true spider lovers who keep them as pets.
These creatures rarely have impressive parameters, but there are representatives of the species that do not fit into the usual framework.
Which spider can safely be considered the largest on the planet?
This title goes to a spider whose size can scare even a brave person. Heteropoda maxima is the undisputed record holder.
The length of spiders' bodies alone exceeds forty centimeters.
One should not forget about the impressive limbs: their span can reach thirty centimeters. This unique spider was discovered in Laos.
Previously, the Guinness Book of Records listed the Goliath birdeater as the largest, with a limb span two centimeters smaller than the leader of the rating.
This huge spider lives in South America.
