The giant tarantula is as big as a
human face. Its legs, which have unique daffodil-yellow markings, span a
massive 20cm (eight inches). The arachnid also has a distinctive pink
band around its body. The new species was found in the war-torn north
of the South Asian country by scientists from Sri Lanka's Biodiversity
Education and Research (BER) organization.http://tinyurl.com/brx439y
