    I was hinting more at the Wikipedia page language, but yeah. It’s the scientific name, so good in most if not all languages.

    Edited.

      All good. “common names” can actually be incredibly tricky and sometimes they even differ by just geography but suddenly mean a totally different spider. Like “house spiders” mean different spiders in the US or Europe. That’s why the taxanomic names are really important.

      Another very good example is “daddy long legs” which can mean “cellar spider”, “harvestmen” or “crane fly”. Entire different families of animals even.
