Aptostichus bonoi

Okay so I realized I was away for this, so I shall do it now. Now I had a really hard time just picking which celebrity animal to write about because there are ssooooo many to choose from. But being a big U2 fan I had to do them justice and I knew I would feel guilty if I passed up the opportunity to write about Bono's Joshua Tree Trapador Spider. Okay I'll admit it, I mostly picked it just for the name. It's long and ridiculous and names after the bands 1987 album titled The Joshua Tree.

 

The spider on the other hand is a nocturnal arhropod that seizes it's prey by leaping out of their burrows and injecting them with venom. The species is an endangered species and is on the conservation status.
