Okay. In advance, I'm going to apologize as I might be slightly inebriated at this moment.
However, I'm at my breaking point with this and am not sure where to look for a proper explanation or answer. Please bear with me!!!!
Over the last couple of weeks, I have been taunted over the correct name for the T commonly referred to as the "Costa Rican Tiger Rump" tarantula. (please don't tell me this is the only case where the common name is more accurate!! I promise I will cry! The name has changed, in no particular order, from Cyclosternum fasciatum, perhaps more than once, to Davus fasciatus, Davus pentaloris, or Davus fasciatum, and someone also suggested another name, that at this point, I don't even want to remember or consider. Can someone PLEASE tell me, or point me in the direction of some research paper on the subject? My brain hurts, I'm confused, and I'm sick of being teased about it.
Is there more than one? A "hobby" version? All the same tarantula? I just need to know it's name. It's killing me and I don't know how to find out. People are filling my head with random answers.
If I need to provide pictures, I can and will.
