A new species of tarantula has been named after the country music legend Johnny Cash.
Scientists say the 'Aphonopelma johnnycashi' was discovered in California near a jail - made famous in his song 'Folsom Prison Blues'.
The spider measures up to six inches across.
Professor Chris Hamilton, a biologist at the Florida Museum of Natural History, says the name is rather fitting:
