1:35 The world's oldest spider - Leanda Mason.
The story of the world's oldest spider has captured hearts around the world.
A zoologist, Dr Barbara Main, started studying a trapdoor spider 40 years ago once she crawled out of her mother's nest and made a burrow of her own.
Barbara Main dedicated her career to following the spider she called number 16 who lived under an acacia tree in southwest Australia.
An ecologist, Leanda Mason took over Barbara's work and tells Jesse Mulligan how number 16 eventually died.

2:20 Your Money with Mary Holm: How to find a financial adviser who has your interests at heart
One of the issues at the Australian Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry is the fact that many financial advisers have been putting their own interests ahead of their clients' interests. Does that happen in New Zealand too? It's hard to argue that it doesn't, says Mary Holm. If someone offers you free financial advice, you've got to ask yourself why they are doing that.
But not every adviser works that way. Mary looks at three letters from listeners asking about aspects of finding good financial advice. She talks about why you might want to use an adviser; how to make a short list of possible advisers - starting with a list on her website; and suggests questions to ask them - initially by email. Finally, she stresses the importance of meeting several before choosing one.
You can find more information on Mary's advisors page on her website
