Look at this new hairy garden spider, which seems to be a strange "monster" of the "Muggle" world. The Washington Post reported that the new spider, named after Gryffindor, one of the four houses of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the Harry Potter series of novels, looks like a sorting hat — a triangular hat with broad sides, light brown boogienics.
The newly discovered spider is 7 mm long and found in the Western Ghats in western India. It is also a biodiversity hotspot on the west coast of India. The researchers say the spider's parts, which resemble sorting hats, help it blend into dead leaves during the day to avoid predators. Since the hat once belonged to Godric Gryffindor, one of Hogwarts' founders, the spider was named the Gryffindor Furry Garden Spider.
The new finding was published in the Indian Journal of Arthrozoology. The leader of the study said that he liked to read Harry Potter, so when he met this little spider, he thought of the sorting hat, hoping to draw attention to the often overlooked small animal world and secret life. Fiction author J. When K. Rowling heard about the incident, he tweeted: "I feel so honored! Congratulations on discovering another magical creature." (Zhang Zhang)
