Spider

Period: Cretaceous

Age: 125 million years

Region: China

There are around 30,000 species of spider, living just about all

over the world. These employ a variety of hunting techniques. Not
all spiders use fixed webs to catch their prey. Some chase after the-
ir prey or leap onto it. The picture shows a 125-million-year-old
fossil spider. Like all life forms, spiders have remained unchanged
despite the passage of tens of millions of years.
