It\u2019s the ultimate 90s movie mash-up \u2013 Arachnophobia<\/em> meets Jurassic Park<\/em>. And it\u2019s happened in real life, right here at the University of Manchester.<\/p>\n

Imprisoned within a block of amber dating back to the Cretaceous period, a spider has been discovered that could provide an unparalleled insight into the evolution of everyone\u2019s favourite creepy-crawly. And to make the discovery even more exciting, this spider had a tail (because having eight legs and eyes isn\u2019t already nightmarish enough).<\/p>\n

Does whatever a spider can<\/h2>\n

\"Chimerarachne<\/p>\n

An international team of researchers including Russell Garwood from the School of Earth and Environmental Science<\/a> here at the University of Manchester have been closely studying a fossil originating from Myanmar that\u2019s an incredible 100 million years old. They conclude the insect trapped within the amber is a previously undiscovered species, which they\u2019ve named Chimerarachne yingi. The ancient beastie is very similar to the most primitive group of spiders to exist today: the mesotheles.<\/p>\n

The findings, published in Nature Ecology and Evolution<\/em>, suggest that while the spider is not a direct ancestor of modern-day spiders, it is a sort of \u2018missing link\u2019 between ancient arachnids that are long extinct and the little blighter you spotted in the shower this morning. But of course, the spiders weaving webs in your home don\u2019t have tails.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, the researchers remain unsure as to what that tail was used for, but believe it is a leftover from earlier incarnations. While spiders today don\u2019t have tails, another modern-day arachnid, the scorpion, does.<\/p>\n

Scorpions are also venomous, as are many species of spider, but the researchers are unable to conclude whether Chimerarachne yingi had a poisonous bite.<\/p>\n

Web slinger<\/h2>\n

\"Chimerarachne<\/p>\n

Co-author Dr Jason Dunlop from Museum F\u00fcr Naturkunde in Berlin explains that the spider\u2019s body type is unique among arachnids. The discovery therefore poses questions not only about what early spiders looked like, but also how key features unique to this group \u2013 like the spinnerets used for spinning and the pedipalp organ – developed. A spider\u2019s pedipalp is a set of appendages that function as a mouth and also help transfer sperm during mating.<\/p>\n

Dr Garwood notes that, whereas today\u2019s mesotheles spiders have four pairs of spinnerets, all of which are located in the underside of their abdomen, the fossil has just two pairs of fully developed spinnerets. These are placed towards the back of the spider, while there are two others in formation.<\/p>\n

Spiders use spinnerets to spin silk. The organs are highly complex and can move independently of each other, which means spiders can produce different types and strengths of silk for different purposes. Just something to remember when you carelessly walk through a spider\u2019s web or dust one from the corner of your ceiling \u2013 a lot of work went into that!<\/p>\n

Land before time<\/h2>\n

\"Chimerarachne<\/p>\n

\u201cPerhaps the most interesting aspect of the new fossils is the fact that more than 200 million years after spiders originated, close relatives – quite unlike the arachnids alive today – were still living alongside true spiders,\u201d says Dr Garwood.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s something to think about before you power up that time machine you\u2019ve been working on. Head back to the Cretaceous period and not only will you have Tyrannosaurus rex and velociraptors* to look out for, but also these crazy betailed spiders.<\/p>\n

But wait! The Chimerarachne yingi fossil was found preserved in amber, just like that from which the mosquito blood is extracted in Jurassic Park<\/em>. So, once again we find ourselves asking, could Jurassic Park<\/em> happen? If our new spider buddy was to have bitten a Triceratops, could we finally bring everyone’s favourite dinosaur back to life?<\/p>\n

Again, we\u2019re afraid to say the answer is \u2018no\u2019. And as you know, bursting the Jurassic Park<\/em> bubble is something of a speciality of ours. First we told you that T-rex couldn\u2019t run<\/a>, so Jeff Goldblum didn\u2019t have to get into quite such a tiz on the back of that Jeep. And then we revealed that the 2007 discovery of 80 million-year-old collagen preserved in a dinosaur skeleton was in fact a contamination<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow\u2019s spiders<\/h2>\n

But perhaps we should stop obsessing over bringing the past back to life and instead turn our attention to future spiders \u2013 or, more specifically, future ROBOT spiders.<\/p>\n

Dr Mostafa Nabawy, Microsystems Research Theme Leader at the School of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering<\/a>, will give a talk at the forthcoming Industry 4.0 Summit<\/a> (February 28th to March 1st) about how a jumping spider robot will transform future manufacturing. There\u2019s no word yet on whether these spider-bots have tails – but we’ll be sure to keep you posted.<\/p>\n
