@CEC love the name. Someone just recently posted looking for tips on these, I forget posters name, maybe it true spider forum. Hopefully they see your beauty!
Peter Jaeger, the guy that described them commented on my photo on FB when I was asked why they were given that name, here was his response:
"Yes, in 2008. Actually, I am big fan of DB and named it since the contrasting pattern of the front within the genus Heteropoda was similarly striking as DB was at that time among rock singers. Of course, the spiders from Mars and the Glass spider tour were additonal reasons to name a spider for him.
By the way, right now I'm revising a genus in SE Asia and will name ALL species in honour of DB and will use names from his characters, albums and songs. So far, it is 36 new species!"
So expect more named in honor of David Bowie.
