Hi, i was just wondering if there was anyone that had arranged a picture 'portfolio/database' of the tarantula species...
I myself have decided to find out each and every theraphosid species and find pics and a little information for each species, but i was also wondering about websites that displayd and gave the translations... maybe even the reasons for the spiders being named (Latin/Greek) what they are, though i do belive that those spiders being named after a person shouldn't be so, i think they should be named after the characteristics of the species...ie: smith--- Aphonopelma smithi- named by...smith in 1995. hehe.
It just seems to add to the confusion of the species.
As of yet, i have gathered all species of A- C..but got only about 1 3rd wit pics.
so yah...any info would be great
