Are you ready for some nightmare fuel? Behold, Chimerarachne yingi!
This 100 million spider cousin was discovered in an amber market in Myanmar. Luckily, for any of you that find this thing horrifying, this lineage of arachnid is long since extinct.
And it is horrifying! Look at all of those weird abdominal offshoots. Wait, is that a tail?? Yes, it’s a tail!
