    Question 1:

    Q1. Name any species of spider. Answers such as ‘house spider’ are too broad and wrong. Similarly, 'Tarantula' is wrong, it has to be a species of tarantula if you're going for that.

    Note: I've had to be extremely lenient with this question or a lot more of you would have wrong answers

    Incorrect answers: (170 points)

    Berry's spider: Larsson93

    Red Spider: JC Anton (It's a mite, not a spider)

    Correct
    -------

    Lapropelma violacepes: Buster (Pointless)

    Poecilotheria metallica: Vert, Eddie (20 points)

    Brown recluse: obafgkmlt (Pointless)

    Sydney Funnel web: Tim Time (Pointless)

    Tiger Spider: WolfofParkhead (Pointless)

    Hunstman spider/Wood spider: Moustache, Dear Hunter, Bobo, Scotia, Lewis (70 points) - I did say species, but there are approximately 1200 huntsman species, so I was lenient with this one as hunstman spiders are well known. Due to this, I've added 20 extra points to the score.

    Australian funnel web: Che, Mr.Slippyfist (20 points)

    Chilobrachys sp. Vietnam Blue: Keano (Pointless)

    Chromatopelma cyanepubescens: Marie (Pointless)

    Black widow: Xatraps (10 points) - Would have been pointless but this refers to a family of spiders. Being lenient again.

    Daddy Long Legs: Marty Mcfly - Not always a spider but there are species of spider commonly known as this. (Pointless)

    White Tailed Spider: ODWC, Deebo (20 points)

    Golden silk orb weaver: Idioteque (Pointless)

    Brown widow: Borobob (Pointless)

    Goliath Birdeater (Theraphosa blondi): Fiferbhoy (Pointless)

    False black widow spider: V for V (Pointless)

    Red Back: Taz (Pointless)

    Scientific classification of 'big cats' is annoying me as everyone answered with common names and some common names mean the same species, even though the common name is different. So I'm off out to buy dog food and I'll finish this when I get back.
