Clearly that is not a Louisiana spider chart

No "Choot Em"
No mention of making a roux
No spider sporting a New Iberia haircut
Not one spider with purple and gold coloring

I refuse to believe that a coin the size of a quarter weighs a whole pound!

"Venemous" article says it is like a bee sting to humans. I hate spiders but this is actually neat. Discovery if a unique local species right there near a major metro and even the zoo's experts werent sure what they had found for a couple years.

the article says new species but it sounds like they're using parallels from similar species
