The Queensland Museum has just launched a fundraising initiative to sell the naming rights to a limited number of yet to be scientifically described spiders from Australia. Bank of Queensland Managing Director, Mr David Liddy was first and named a new species of Ant spider, Habronestes boq, after the Bank of Queensland.

Money raised will help scientists to continue their extensive research into Australia’s remarkable biodiversity.
