Scientists found a new species of trap-door spider, the albino spider, near Northam in Australia. The albino spider is white-headed and the colour of its legs is black and brown. It is about the size of a 50-cent piece. Scientists called it a new type of spider because of subtle differences on the pedipalp and front leg of the male.
This new spider belongs to the family of Idiopidae. These spiders make burrows in the soil that have tight-fitting trap-door lid.
