Imagine a world where a spider is named after John Lennon - because now there is. A new species of tarantula called Bumba lennoni that lives in the Amazonian state of Pará, Brazil, is named after John Lennon.
The tarantula is not particularly large - its body is about 1.3 inches (34 millimeters) wide. Study leader Fernando Pérez-Miles, an entomologist at Uruguay's University of the Republic, said he has been waiting for a while to dedicate a species to Lennon because he's a fan of the Beatles.
