Caption

Over the past decade, the California Academy of Sciences has sent more than a dozen scientific expeditions to the Gaoligong Mountains in China's Yunnan Province -- one of the world's biodiversity hotspots. Scientists in the fields of botany, entomology, herpetology, ornithology, and mammalogy have discovered hundreds of new species during the project, including this new spider, named Draconarius pseudospiralis.
