Obituary by Fox News
The world’s oldest spider has died at the age of 43 after being subdued by a parasitic wasp in the Australian outback, according to the Independent.
Number 16, as researchers knew the female Giaus Villosus trapdoor spider, outlived the previous Guiness world record holder—a pet tarantula in Mexico—by 15 years, thanks in large part to living her life in a single burrow, the paper reported Saturday.
Researchers said the sedentary spider died in October after the wasp attack in Western Australia. The death was reported this month in the scientific journal, Pacific Conservation Biology.
