A biologist discovered a new species of trapdoor spider and in honor of Neil Young named it Myrmekiaphila neilyoungi. Its not a great story but I found it ironic that the spider is indigenous to Alabama.

He said spiders in the trapdoor genus, who tend to live in burrows and build trap doors to seal off their living quarters, are distinguished from one species to the next on the basis of differences in genitalia.

Maybe it's because Neil's hung like a spider.

sometimes Neil's tone sounds kinda spidery -- seems like a good fit!

Might explain the high, whiny voice. Which I love by the way.

Also Neil has eight legs.

Sorry Neil.
