Tiny sea spiders with glowing red eyes, brand-new to science

Diving around Quadra Island and Bamfield, UBC biologist Cormac Toler-Scott and colleagues scooped up more than 150 tiny sea spiders — and after examining their bodies and DNA, confirmed two had never been described to science. One, named Callipallene pilosuspedes, has glowing red eyes and hairy legs yet measures barely a third of an inch across. 'It's everyone's dream to find new species, but it's pretty uncommon,' Toler-Scott said.
