Spider Named After Neil Young
Bond has just named a new species of arachnid after musician, and greatest living Canadian, Neil Young. Actually he seems to have named it in December last year and theres no obvious reason its only just been press released. 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, says Bond (press release). Different species of trapdoor spiders are apparently differentiated based on differences in their genitalia, but Bond also checked with DNA that Myrmekiaphila neilyoungi is a distinct species.
