Johnny Cash on eight legs

American biologists have a new kind of tarantula named after country singer Johnny Cash.

In addition, the tarantula is quite often found near prisons. The country singer is also known by his Folsom Prison Blues and performances in prisons like San Quentin.

The Johnny Cash Spin is one of the fourteen new species that biologists at Auburn University in Alabama discovered in the southwest of the USA. Live in America, as it turns out, 29 species of tarantulas.
