"New Tarantula (Not Beetle) Named After John Lennon"

"I have been waiting for a while to dedicate a species to Lennon because I am a fan of the Beatles," study leader Fernando Pérez-Miles, an entomologist at Uruguay's University of the Republic, wrote in an email. "I decided not to wait anymore."

Pérez-Miles and colleagues found B. lennoni in 2005 in a trap at a scientific station in Caxiuana, a national forest whose name roughly translates to "place full of snakes" in the Tupi language.

This artwork came about as the result of a dream of myself as a fat John Lennon.

Made in collaboration with my brilliant and beautiful friend Alice Wu in 2001 in New Haven, Connecticut.

Rest in peace, John, 33 years later.

And so, dear friends, you'll just have to carry on. The dream is over....
