Speech help

[Chris_Skeleton]

I'm making a presentation in my speech class about my 6.5" LP. I need some info on the history such as where it was discovered, when it was discovered, what it's name means, etc.

And I need info on how small the slings are when they hatch, difficulty in breeding, sac size, other info, etc.

I need links to good websites because I have to cite my sources.

Thanks

I can contribute some. "Lasiodora" is from Greek, translating to "shaggy + skin/hide", "parahybana" would refer to the locale, I believe...

'para' could be Greek, meaning 'beside', but Para may also refer to Pará, A State in Northern Brazil. I am lost on the 'hybana', though.

As far as where it was discovered, when, and by whom...
The Word: http://research.amnh.org/iz/spiders/catalog/THERAPHOSIDAE.html
The Word (abridged, but searchable): http://research.amnh.org/oonopidae/catalog/names.php?f_id=10&g_id=286&dist_kwd=&reg_id=0&sub_id=0
Why not PM a well established breeder for those types of questions?
Good luck and have fun with the speech!
