1. Most paleontologists, on discovering new species of dinosaurs, give them exceedingly convoluted scientific names. So, it came as a surprise to find an interestingly named dinosaur. The story goes that once, a new species of dinosaur was discovered by a group of paleontologists, but the first discovered fossil was missing a skull. This inspired one of its discoverers to give it an innovative name. I dont ask you for its complete scientific name, but what was the main inspiration behind it?
2. This spider is named for the unique marking on its rear segment which is shown in the picture. So, who is it named after? (Cryptic clue- Think of a nice sobriquet for Thomas Alva Edison’s mom, though they may be more than one.)
