Sure you do! This is a chance to be one of the select few whose name will live on in the pages of science and natural history forever. Imagine it, a real-life spider species carrying your name - perfect for impressing friends and family and turning everyone else green with envy.
Of course if you’re into giving gifts, you can also name a spider after the love of your life, your child or a staff member. It’s up to you.
So how do you ensure that one of a very limited number of spiders will be yours? Simple. Make a tax-deductible donation of $5000 or more to the Queensland Museum Foundation. Your donation will assist our world-renowned scientists to continue their extensive research into all aspects of Queensland’s biodiversity and will provide an enduring legacy for the people of this State.
You’ll be thanked for your donation by the Queensland Museum who will publish details of each new spider in the Memoirs of the Queensland Museum or other scientific publication, and record it on the Worldwide Database of Spiders for all to see. You will also be presented with a certificate showing the registered scientific name – including your name, and a detailed illustration of the spider.
