La Teefa (La Tarantula)
Fatima
Ingrid
Claudia
Alope
Bridget
She is a Chile Gold Burst or Paraplysa Parvula if that helps?
So what do you reckon?
Beardy.
someone told me the other day that Tarantula ( phonetic "taran shula") isn't the right name and that it should be "Trian toola". It was my gf's batty neighbour, but she's a scientific type. Is she right?
Mr Agreeable - Member
Beardy.
No That's your name 😀
Ian
You b*stard! I opened this thread expecting something - well, a lot less spidery, to be honest. Utter, utter, spider liking b*stard.
Fluffy
Shelob
Pook I've always said Trian-chula
should be [i]Paraplysa parvula[/i] not Paraplysa Parvula
Thatcher
Ah If i knew he spelt it wrong I wouldn't have said Shelob. 🙄
That said Google says Paraphysa parvula
They can't seem to make up their minds on scientific tarantula names either. The P.parvula is also known as Euathlus Truculentus 😯
There is a flamenco dance called La Taranta from La Tarantela area.I think you are supposed to do the dance is you are bitten by a Tarantula, or sommat?
Can we have suggestions from the list please? We are having enough arguments as it is.
No That's your name
Well she does look like a little 8-legged version of me. You should get her some Immac, she'd probably scrub up nicely. 🙂

Latin names or not, you'd still shit yourself if you found it in the bath.

Your going to have to explain me why?

Call it a spider.
Spiders are not pets, they are spiders.
Dogs, cats and goldfish are pets.

Roper - I've been standing on a chair and wailing like a Greek widow ever since opening this damned thread. If I find out where you live, I'll track you down and kill you like a dog in the street! Anything with more than two eyes or four legs is not a bloody pet, do you not see that?
My Cats' names: Kona and Bianchi 🙂
Can't see the pic but if it's got a beard as suggested above, how about "Marin"? 🙂
Cuddles?
Call it fruit.
Floss
Voodoo...looks like a voodoo doll to me!! 😉
Amazing markings!
[i]Why latin names should be italicised[/i]
WOW! I read that I must be bored. Well given this is just a forum don't think it's really essential.
Nightmare
Edwina (curry)
Well I might be wrong but I don't think "Princess Fá Nay Nay" is a Latin name, so maybe we should pick that one. 🙂
arach "iraq" as in arachnophobia
Stella
dave,thats my default name for forgotten strangers names....but i did have a jack russel called dave.... nice arachnid!
It's not a spider, it's a spider-baby. The body of a spider, but the mind of a baby.

cause when the Latins went round naming everything thats how they did it and its just kinda stuck,
The Latins they wrote everyting in Italics are just names?
Fluffy?
Tara-chihuahua
Fruit
Jesus (as in Jesus Christ)
Rover, fluffy, poochini
Just to lead visitors astray 🙂
I must confess I bloody hate (big)spiders which means they're safe in my house as I wont go anywhere near them to shoo them off I just hide in another room. bleh. one last night was about an inch wide including it's leg span and kept hopping everywhere... *cries* why wont they just leave me alone.
The Latins they wrote everyting in Italics are just names?
Just names, it was such a long job naming all the living things that their hands got sore from writing (no compters in them days you see) and so the writing went all wobbly and it just kind of caught on from there.
Peter Parker. And so..
"Does your spider have a name?"
Roper - "Peter Parker."
"Peter Parker? Why Peter Parker?"
Roper- "It's a spider man"

I would call it 'dead', because it would be dead if it was in my house, 😈
Killed a lot worse than that little thing in my time!
Flipper or Skippy?
