ジギー・スターダスト
"Heteropoda davidbowie" was first described by Peter Jäger in 2008, based on a specimen collected by G. Ackermann in 2007 in the Cameron Highlands of peninsular Malaysia. The species name honours David Bowie, with particular reference to songs such as "Glass Spider" (from the 1987 album "Never Let Me Down"), as well as the 1972 album "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars", and the resemblance of the frontal view of the spider to the singer's painted face in his early career.
