The new orange-faced spider is named after the movie character Nemo
This species belongs to the P Cock Spider which dances and throbs. His face is orange and has a white stripe. It has four beautiful bright eyes. Its color is similar to that of a clownfish, which is why the newly discovered spider is named Nemo.
Until now, science was unaware of this beautiful creature. Sheryl Holiday, an Australian photographer and spider enthusiast, first took pictures of him in last year’s lockdown and posted them on Facebook. It caught the eye of Joseph Schubert, an expert at the Melbourne Museum of Victoria.
