I have to wonder why they named it Bagheera kiplingi though. I mean, naming those three new new slime-mold beetles Agathidium bushi, A. cheneyi and A. rumsfeldi I could understand.

But let's not get sidetracked, a vegetarian spider is news indeed. Subject: Re: Vegetarian spiders wow From: Loreweaver posted Tue, Oct 13 2009, 8:36am  Beat me to it. Here's another link..
