I was out this morning taking photographs of the latest crop of flowers when I came upon a spider on a Black Eyed Susan.
Said I to the spider, "Good morning spider, my name is Wayne. What's your name?"
Said the spider to me, "Fred."
Said I to the spider, "My, Fred, what long front front legs you have!"
Said the spider to me, "The better to grab you with, Wayne. Come closer."
Said I to the spider, "No closer Fred. What is your Latin name?"
Said the spider to me, "That is for me to know and you to find out!"
Whatzit? (Genus and species.)

Edit 1 to clarify the nature of the question.

Pretty sure that "Fred" in Latin is........Fred.

No. Fred in Latin is Fridericus.

Now, would any of you Homo sapiens reading this thread like to identify Fred's Genus and Species?
