A Queensland spider has made it into a scientific register’s top 10 most remarkable species discovered in 2017.
The spider lives along the Great Barrier Reef, building air chambers from silk at high tide and hunting amongst barnacles during low tide.
Researchers named the marine spider Desis bobmarleyi after Bob Marley’s hit song ‘High Tide or Low Tide’, which played during their field research in Port Douglas, and because the small creature has a resilient spirit and long hair.
