The Elusive Neil Young Spider

Posted almost 4 years ago
Neil Young is now a spider.??Yep, there he is.??After extensive DNA testing and comparisons Jason Bond of East Carolina University made the discovery of a new type of spider in Alabama, last year. Bond has named his find "Myrmekiaphila neilyoungi," a spider which is distinguishable from others in its genus through its genitalia.??Jason Bond, Spider-man... of sorts.??"As long as these rules are followed you can give a new species just about any name you please. With regards to Neil Young, I really enjoy his music and have had a great appreciation of him as an activist for peace and justice," Bond explained.Neil Young was unavailable for comment as well as his complementary free spider.More "HERE":CH[CH]http://blogs.nature.com/news/thegreatbeyond/2008/05/neil_young_becomes_a_spider.html

  9. Anonymous says Apparently Neil Young isn't the only one. A species of beetle that looks as if it is wearing a tuxedo, the whirligig beetle, or Orectochilus orbisonorum, was named earlier this year after the late rock 'n' roll legend Roy Orbison and his widow Barbara. Who's next? Surely there's an actual 'Beatle' with a beetle named after him? Chalky Terrible Love Songs Blog

    MaxAbunai says Weird, but could be worse... like Agathidium bushi, A. cheneyi and A. rumsfeldi, scientific names for types of slime mold beetles.
