Bono Gets a Creepy Distinction

 

 

 

There are multiple reasons Bono could have come to Jason Bond's mind when he was thinking of a name for a new species of trapdoor spider.  The U2 front man and The Edge provided music and had a big influence on the Spider-Man Broadway musical, the singer almost always sports goggles that make him appear rather bug-eyed, some people consider him creepy... but the real reason is probably because the band's biggest album, The Joshua Tree, was named for the place the Auburn University biologist came across the 33 new species of the crawlers.  The A. bonoi joins the ranks of other critters Bond has named after celebrities, including spiders with variations on the names of Stephen Colbert and Angelina Jolie.
