Is there a connection between the new spider found and Harry Potter, the popular boy wizard from JK Rowling's books? After spending months observing it in its fragile environment, a group of three Mumbai-based wildlife enthusiasts discovered a new species of spider, their very own Fantastic Beast, in Kamataka's Kans Forest in December 2016. The spider, which bears a striking resemblance to the Sorting Hat from JK Rowling's Harry Potter books, was given the name Enenxia gryffindori by Rajashree Khalap, researcher Javed Ahmed, and wildlife photographer Sumukha Javagal. The name is both a reference to the Harry Potter series and a way to draw more attention to the eight-legged creatures. According to Javed, the spider uses the shape of the magical hat during the day to hide from predators and look like a dried leaf.
In fact, JK Rowling herself tweeted, "I'm truly honoured!" about it. Thank you for discovering yet another Fantastic Beast! Khalap, a conservationist who works for the wildlife non-profit Satpuda Foundation, claims that she identified with the main character of the film, Newt Scamander, and his desire to travel the world studying and protecting creatures. The announcement of the discovery came at the same time that the Harry Potter movie Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them was released. How could they understand that the dreadful little animal they had found had never been archived? It took a long time to observe. Sometimes they would catch one and release it back into the wild only to discover that it wasn't what they were looking for. They used a microscope to examine the spider and compare it to all of the species that were known to be in the same genus when they thought they had found the right one. In the past two years, Khalap and her naturalist and arachnologist partner Javed have discovered five new species of spiders. The Paraplectana rajashree, which is named after her, is one of these. It is a tiny nocturnal spider with a ladybird-like appearance. Khalap claims that the evolution of spiders fascinates her. Some of them live on leaves and are the same color as the leaves, while others live on tree trunks and completely blend in with the bark; Some, like the flower crab spiders, have evolved to look like their prey, while others, like the flower crab spiders, can even change colour.Based on your reading of the passage, select the correct statement.
