Fossilised spider 'biggest on record'. Read more about sharing. Scientists say a fossilised spider from the Inner Mongolian region of China is the biggest yet found. The female, which lived about 165 million years ago, belongs to a collection of spiders well known today - the golden orb weavers.

These terrifying pictures show a spider which is the size of a small dog complete with two-inch fangs. Scientist Piotr Naskrecki was in a South American rainforest when he heard a noise from the undergrowth. Expecting it to be a rat, he was left astonished when he saw this monster. It turned out to be the South American Goliath Birdeater - the largest spider in the world. Incredibly, the spider has a leg span which can grow up to a foot - which is the size of a child's forearm. They can also weight more than 6 ounces and come complete with two-inch fangs full of venom.
