Stephen Colbert's Spider

In August of 2008, Stephen Colbert anounced that Jason Bond, a biologist who dicovered and named a trap door spider after Neil Young, would be naming another species of tap door spider after Stephen Colbert. The official scientific name is Aptostichus stephencolberti, with the last "T" being silent, as Colbert also has a silent "T". The spider its self is found in the sand dunes from the Big Sur area to the San Francisco peninsula at Point Lobos.
