A New, Local Tarantula

Something surprising about the Sacramento area:

(CNN) An expansive, decade-long survey of tarantulas in the United States has uncovered 14 new species, including one named after the "Man in Black."

Aphonopelma johnnycashi, named for Johnny Cash, can be found around Folsom State Prison in California, where Cash made a famous recording and about which he wrote a hit song called "Folsom Prison Blues." The males of aphonopelma johnnycashi are generally black, mirroring Cash's famous penchant for dressing in black, said biologist Chris A. Hamilton, who did this research while at Auburn University.
