I met a guy who just loved spelunking.

He went to Laos and found a weird spider in a cave and he sent the picture to an acquaintance who was a biologist, and apparently it was an unknown species so he got to name it!

Pretty cool to have a species named after you.

Amauropelma Thamcon

and apparently his gf also found one!

Amauropelma Thamimi
