In Alava two fossilized spiders have been found in amber. According to scientists, they are fossils of 115-121 million years, that is, from the time of the dinosaurs, which belong to the group of those who made networks. This means that the discovered spiders are the oldest weavers, so the ability to make nets was already developed.
