Newly Discovered Spider Named For Greta Thunberg

In a move that I understand is meant to be a compliment, German arachnologist Peter Jager has named a new genus of huntsman spiders from Madagascar Thunberga gen. nov. after Swedish climate campaigner Greta Thunberg.

Jager had previously named another species of (sexually dimorphic) huntsman spider Heteropoda davidbowie after - you guessed it - David Bowie.

None of the articles reporting this news have mentioned if the Thunberga gen. nov. is also sexually dimorphic.
