I ❤ Fossils
A fossil has recently been found containing a spider jumping onto it's prey. This detailed fossil holds these creatures from Hukawng Valley of Myanmar. From about 97 to 110 million years ago there were undoubtedly dinosaurs present in this Cretaceous era. The young spider is seen attacking a parasitic wasp that was caught in it's web.Scientists have found that there is a third spider in the fossil as well, and have also declared all of the specie to be extinct. They have also declared that the spider web is still intact and with the three bugs in the positions they are in, we can also see social behavior behavior patterns of them.
