The spider was first spotted back in 2013 but it's taken four years for scientists to officially confirm it as a new species.

It's called the "Sierra Cacachilas wandering spider" and is in the same family as the much-feared, venomous Brazilian wandering spider.

Get this - the spider can grow up to 10cm in length.

Remind me not to go to a cave in Mexico any time soon!
