![Number 16 (c. 1974 – 2016), also known as #16,[1] was a wild female trapdoor spider (Gaius villosus, family Idiopidae) that lived in North Bungulla Reserve near Tammin, Western Australia. She lived an estimated 43 years and became the longest-lived spider on record, beating a 28-year-old tarantula who previously held the title.[1] When Number 16 finally died in 2016, it was not of old age but from a parasitic wasp sting.[2]](https://64.media.tumblr.com/c4ec8d4557e996181a31e482074ef2c3/9b6ec5da395ba979-f3/s500x750/5d56f2becc9790a630d8260b0c27c4e96e50214b.png)
![Death.
On 31 October 2016, researcher Leanda Mason discovered Number 16's burrow in disrepair. The spider was gone. Evidence suggested she was killed by a parasitic spider wasp.[4] The silk plug of her burrow had been pierced by a parasitic spider wasp.[1] During a survey six months earlier, Number 16 had been alive.[1] “She was cut down in her prime [...] It took a while to sink in, to be honest," said Mason.[4] The spider's death received widespread publicity in late April 2018, with the publication of a research article in the journal Pacific Conservation Biology.[1] Based on the burrow fidelity of females of her species, the researchers concluded with a "high level of certainty" that Number 16 was 43 years old at the time of her death.[1]
After retiring, Barbara York Main moved to a care facility for Alzheimer's. Leanda Mason, who kept in contact with her mentor, said in 2018 that Barbara "remembers No. 16" but "forgets that she’s died."[5]](https://64.media.tumblr.com/ad40be8c7c70f2bb4876be219ca4d849/9b6ec5da395ba979-78/s640x960/518bc9ffcd2580ce3f19eeda7a9ba0b792c7d950.png)
I don't think this is actually her but this is a photo of a specimen from the same species that comes up when you search for her.
A reminder that humans can and do form years - DECADES - long relationships with creatures much smaller and much different than us.
Rest easy, Number 16. You were taken from us too soon.
